With 13% alcohol, scoring 18 Dionysian points, and costing close to a hundred bucks, the 2000 Chateau Cos d’Eteournel Saint-Estephe Bordeaux is coming into its peak at 18 years old. Lamb chops are what this wine demands.
This wine has blackberry and vanilla notes lingering into a very long soft finish. It was decanted 45 minutes prior to serving and it continued to open through out the meal. Saint-Estephe wines needs at least 10 to 15 years before drinking. In Vino Veritas.
