Footnotes

"This is the most powerful and tannic Cos d'Estournel made during the decade of the eighties. The color is still an impressive, nearly opaque dark ruby/purple. Except for some subtle aromas of toasty vanillin oak and cassis, the nose is closed and unevolved. In the mouth this full-bodied wine, which exhibits no signs of evolution, is firmly structured with medium to full-body, outstanding depth, and a hard, though not abrasive, exceptionally long finish. This impressive Cos should be cellared for another 4-5 years. It is capable of lasting for up to 30 years." (WA 95pts.)
