Tasting Notes

92
Robert Parker, Bordeaux Book (4), December 2003

The 1985 from casks would have been a lighter version of the 1982 and the 1953 vintages. Forward, with a fabulous bouquet of pain grillé and concentrated red and black fruits (especially black cherries), it is rich, lush, long, and medium to full bodied. Very flagrant, with gobs of sweet black fruits, minerals, and spice in both its flavor and aromatics, this is one of the most forward wines from Cos.
