Merchant's description
The 2018 Château Cos d`Estournel reveals aromas of raisins, cinnamon, marzipan and ginger. It is a stylish and complex wine, with attractive floral cassis, exotic incense, black fruits and minerals. The fruit feels natural and ripe, and the tannins grip the palate and coat the taste buds with real aplomb.
