Robert Parker's Wine Advocate : The 2007 Cos d'Estournel is blended of 85% Cabernet Sauvignon, 12% Merlot and 3% Cabernet Franc. It has a deep garnet-brick color and the nose reveals quite a lot of evolutionùmore than the previous six vintages tasted before it in this tastingùwith notes of prunes, figs, chargrill and dried herbs plus hints of raisin cake, leather, balsamic and incense.
Medium-bodied, refreshing and mature in the mouth, it delivers a good concentration of savory/spicy flavors and an herbal lift on the finish. It should remain at this evolutionary plateau for the next decade, before it begins to decline.
