Château Cos d'Estournel 1990 Saint-Estèphe

Château Cos d'Estournel

1990年が刻んだ、サン・テステフの威厳。

歴史的ヴィンテージ1990年のサン・テステフ。深いルビーレッドの色調から、ブラックベリーやカシス、熟したプラムの濃密な果実香が立ちのぼり、葉巻やシダー、鉛筆の芯、湿った土、スパイスのニュアンスが複雑さを添えます。長い年月が角を磨き、しなやかで上質なタンニンが果実味と調和。バランスの良い酸が全体を引き締め、甘やかなスパイスとミネラル感が長い余韻に続きます。赤身肉のグリルやジビエ、熟成チーズとともに。

Tasting note

A deep ruby red color, this wine offers a rich aroma of blackberry, cassis, and ripe plum. Subtle notes of cedar, pencil lead, and toast add to the complexity. On the palate, supple, high-quality tannins blend seamlessly with the fruit, while well-balanced acidity tightens the overall flavor. The finish is long, with nuances of black fruit and a pleasant minerality, hinting at further depth with aging.
