Tasting Notes

The 2016 Cos Labory has a pleasant, almost nonchalant bouquet with blackberry, briary and pressed flower aromas. It just needs a little more delineation. The palate is well balanced with crisp acidity, finer tannins than I found in the 2015 last year, with a harmonious, if not awfully complex finish. Yet, I can see this Saint-Estephe giving pleasure over the next decade or so.

A chewy, well structured, full and deep Cos-Labory where the juiciness steals up on you slowly and surely. This is elegant but rich, and it totally delivers on the potential of the vintage in the appellation. A great year for this château.
