Château Cos labory 2018 – Saint-Estèphe

The nose is fruity, elegant and offers concentration, freshness, a good finesse of the grain as well as a good definition. It reveals notes of blackberry, graphite and fresh raspberry associated with touches of strawberry/small fresh red berries as well as fine hints of flower, Cuben pepper, a discreet hint of vanilla and very fine hints of coffee (in the background). The palate is fruity, well-balanced, racy, finely powdered and offers freshness, concentration/richness, a beautiful deifnition, a fine suavity as well as a fine grain. On the palate this wine expresses notes of fleshy cassis, fresh/ripe raspberry and small notes of small fresh/crunchy red berries associated with fine hints of peony, coffee, graphite and discreet hints of toasted almond. Tannins are structuring. Good length.
