Blended of 78% Cabernet Sauvignon, 20% Merlot and 2% Petit Verdot, the 2006 Cos d'Estournel is deep garnet colored with a touch of brick, opening with enticing scents of rosemary-crusted roast lamb, dried cherries, baked blackcurrants and mincemeat pie with touches of fallen leaves, cigar box and pencil lead. Medium-bodied, lively and elegantly played in the mouth, it has a firm backbone of chewy tannins and plenty of mineral accents on the long finish.

This is very meaty and spicy now with hints of leafs and wet earth. Full body, chewy tannins and a medium finish. Ready for drinking. But has life ahead of it.

While Cos d’Estournel 2006 has required a delay in opening, the wine reveals itself today as absolutely pleasant and smooth. The tannins remain powerful and lengthened, in a wonderful concentration, the freshness and vividness of the aromas balancing perfectly this vintage. The shiny side of the fruit stands out particularly for this wine, energetic and delicious at the same time.
