New from Cos d'Estournel

2005 Goulee;
This wine comes from the team of Cos d'Estournel, from Port de Goulee in the north of Medoc, on soil they believe to be as good as the ones of the classed growths further south, and thus vinified as such. I do not know about the soil, but the wine is ruby, nose is lovelly, paprika, blackcurrants, some cigar, slightly herbal, very elegant, complex, great balance, fresh acidity, ripe tannins, seductive for a wine of this pricerange, impressive, long length. 89
