Ratings By Robert Parker 86 Tasting Notes This medium-bodied, peppery, herbaceous offering lacks depth. The color is a dark ruby, and the wine reveals nice berry and cassis fruit, but little else. Drink it over the next 7-8 years. (Wine Advocate #134 Apr 2001) By Robert Parker

Ratings By Robert Parker (86) Tasting Notes I was in error with respect to my severe judgment of this wine from cask. The truth is always in the bottle, and the 1997 Cos Labory is far better from bottle than it was from cask. A medium plum/ruby color is followed by a charming raspberry/cherry, Burgundian-like… Read More »

Ratings By Robert Parker 88 Tasting Notes My concerns about the 1996’s tannic ferocity were alleviated by its performance out of bottle. It has turned out to be a classic, dark ruby/purple-colored St.-Estephe with earthy black currant fruit, medium to full body, moderate tannin, and excellent purity.

Ratings By Robert Parker 88 Tasting Notes Although this dark ruby/purple-colored Cos Labory is more charming since bottling, aromatically it is closed, with red and black fruits just beginning to emerge. In the mouth, dusty tannin appears elevated, giving the wine a hard, dry, rough-textured finish. However, there is medium to full body, plenty of… Read More »

Ratings By Robert Parker 87 Tasting Notes This elegant, tasty, mid-weight Bordeaux is defined by its classicism, finesse and pure, spicy, red and black currant fruit. With good depth and a silky texture, it is best consumed over the next 5-6 years.(Wine Advocate #194 May 2011) By Robert Parker

Ratings By Robert Parker 87 Tasting Notes A classic Bordeaux nose of licorice, cedar wood, black currants, and some tobacco leaf is followed by a medium-bodied, nicely concentrated wine with light tannin and a savory mouthfeel. Drink it over the next 7-8 years.(Wine Advocate #181 Feb 2009) By Robert Parker

Ratings By Robert Parker (87-88) Tasting Notes Space limitations did not allow complete tasting notes for this Grand Cru Classe, but 2005 is the finest vintage for these wines since 1982. The range of scores for these wines should give readers an idea of just how consistent this vintage is at this level. Given the… Read More »

Ratings By Robert Parker (87-89) Tasting Notes Displaying a saturated plum/purple color as well as fine ripeness, medium body, solidly constructed flavors, admirable concentration, moderate tannin, and hints of underbrush, licorice, and new oak, this 2004 requires 2-3 years of bottle age. It should keep for 12-15 years.(Wine Advocate #165 Jun 2006) By Robert Parker

Ratings By Robert Parker 89 Tasting Notes Soft, round, and evolved, the plum/garnet-hued 2003 offers sweet scents of black cherries, plums, and figs, medium to full body, a charming fleshiness, and low acidity. Enjoy this seductive wine over the next 7-10 years. (Wine Advocate #164 Apr 2006) By Robert Parker
