Ratings By Robert Parker 86 Tasting Notes Earthy underbrush, sweet and sour cherry and red currant characteristics along with a hint of truffles are present in this straightforward, austere Bordeaux. Drink it over the next (Wine Advocate #194 May2011) By Robert Parker

Ratings By Robert Parker 77 Tasting Notes This firm, tannic hard, and austere wine displays an impressive dark ruby/purple color as well as some background underbrush and black currants, but the tannins dominate in a wine that is somewhat weedy and a strong candidate to dry out in a decade or more.(Wine Advocate #181 Feb… Read More »

Ratings By Robert Parker 89+ Tasting Notes One of the finest wines I have tasted from this estate, the 2005 Cos Labory exhibits a deep ruby/purple hue, aromas of road tar, blackberries, creme de cassis, forest floor, smoke, and graphite, medium to full body, and abundant tannin. It is a complete, dense effort with high… Read More »

Ratings By Robert Parker 89 Tasting Notes It is good to see this estate, which is trapped in the shadows of its across-the-street neighbor, Cos d??Estournel, begin to fashion better and better wines.

Ratings By Robert Parker 87 Tasting Notes The soft, plump, round, and opulent 2003 offers plenty of fig, plum, black cherry, and currant fruit, low acidity, and sweet tannin in a charming, up-front style. Drink it over the next decade.(Wine Advocate #164 Apr 2006) By Robert Parker

Ratings By Robert Parker 83 Tasting Notes Some attractive aromatics of forest floor, red currants, and herbs are followed by a relatively lean, medium-bodied wine that finishes with some hollowness and astringent tannin.

Ratings By Robert Parker 78 Tasting Notes Cos Labory??s weak, medium ruby color has more in common with a washed out Burgundy than Bordeaux. Hints of compost, herbs, damp earth, and soil scents are followed by a stretched, lean, austere claret to drink during its first 7-8 years of life.(Wine Advocate #153 Jun 2004) By… Read More »

Ratings By Robert Parker 74 Tasting Notes Herbal, washed-out cherry and black currant notes with some dusty earth are found in this somewhat uninspiring, still moderately tannic wine, which seems to be drying out and going nowhere fast.(Wine Advocate #189 Jun 2010) By Robert Parker

Ratings By Robert Parker 87 Tasting Notes A medium dark ruby color is followed by aromas of sweet currants and new oak in this moderately intense, soft, low acid, charming St.-Estephe. The wine possesses sweet tannin and an up-front personality that will provide plenty of pleasure over the next decade.(Wine Advocate #140 Apr 2002) By… Read More »
