09 Cos

2009 Château Cos d'Estournel;
(Barrel sample) Deep ruby, ruby/pink rim. Intense, sweet, huge, cassis, blackberries, coffee, plum jam. Again, huge and sweet on the palate, think Napa Valley, Arnold wrestling plum juice, , huge tannins, and are they fully ripe? Some green and herbal touches in the finish, burnt coffe beans, blockbuster. Very dry finish, just tannins and herbs. 86-93 (Very difficult to judge the future of this one)
