Item Description
Born in 1762 during the reign of Louis XV and died in 1853 under Napoleon III, at the remarkable age of 91, Louis Gaspard d’Estournel had one sole passion: Cos.
Having inherited a few vines near the village of Cos, he recognized in 1811 the quality of their wine and decided to vinify them separately. Very rapidly, Cos d’Estournel’s wine exceeded the prices of the most prestigious wines and was exported as far as India.
For the 1990 vintage, the palate is full-bodied with a dense, robust structure, a firm tannic frame that will see this comfortable through 30+ years. Masculine, a clenched fist of a wine and yet there is undoubtedly great balance and focus with notes of blackberry and pain grille.
Not often you can enjoy a 26 year old Bordeaux. Now is the time!
