Saint Estephe

Both on the nose and the palate it reaches this happy medium: pure blackberry, graphite and roasted herbs on the nose, perhaps even more elegant than I have observed on previous bottles. The palate is medium-bodied rather than full bodied with sturdy tannins couched in layers of seamless blackberry and cassis fruit, offset by scents of tobacco and graphite.

The palate is medium-bodied with grainy tannin. This bottle felt compact for this vintage, one of the few 2007s that merit decanting. However, there is undeniably plenty of freshness and a welcome touch of spice towards the finish.

A superb second wine, opulent and substantively textured, it shares more in common with a flamboyant, exuberant year such as 2009 than most 2010s. Dense purple, its oodles of fruit, luxurious mouthfeel and terrific finish make it a sleeper of the vintage.

Château Cos d'Estournel 的副牌酒。它呈現深厚的石榴紅色，香氣開放，有溫暖成熟的黑醋栗、黑櫻桃果香，混合了炭燒、煙燻肉、灌木叢、丁香、皮革等豐富氣味。酒體中上，口感上充滿了黑色水果和一些討喜的紅色水果味道，結合了成熟紮實的單寧，辛香的餘味相當持久
