Château Cos D'EstournelSaint-Estèphe 1986
About this product
One of the famed 'Super Seconds' of Bodeaux, Cos d'Estournel is the trademark of Saint Estèphe. With it's pagoda like house (one of the rare Bordeaux's without a Château) it is a must visit for all travelling along the route des châteaux. Always of great reputation, the wines soared in esteem throughout the tenure of Bruno Prats through 1971 to 1998 and continue to this day with their Cabernet Sauvignon based wines of extreme purity and elegance. 1986 is big and rich with a still youthful palate

Full bodied red wines have a noticeably textural mouthfeel with bold, complex flavours. Often deeply coloured.
Dry wines have no trace of sweetness at all.

Vintage 1986
87 points The Real Review
The wine is still alive and good bottles would be fine, but this one is slightly musty and cork affected, which obscures its charms. The elegance of the wine still shows, especially on the palate, but it is probably a bit past its prime and the cork has not served it well.
