Château Cos Labory 2016 – Saint-Estèphe, Cru Classé :

The nose is elegant, structured, racy and offers concentration, deepness as well as a racy minerality. It reveals notes of blackberry, crunchy strawberry and more slightly cassis, violet associated with small touches of cherry as well as discreet hints of nutmeg, spices and a very discreet hint of pepper (in the background). The palate is fruity, juicy, crunchy and offers a beautiful definition, a beautiful juiciness/gourmandize, an acidulous frame, a fine creaminess, a small aerial side as well as suavity. On the palate this wine expresses notes of juicy cassis, juicy blackberry and more slightly juicy raspberry associated with small touches of juicy/crunchy cherry, hints of violet, liquorice/zan as well as discreet hints of tonka bean, toasted and a very discreet hint of sweet spices. Chews on the finish. There is a very discreet hint of caramelization/Bourbon vanilla on the finish/persistence.
