it is once again magnificent

2010 Cos d'Estournel, St Estèphe, Bordeaux UOM while a wonderful minerally quality78% Cabernet Sauvignon, 19% Merlot, 2% Cabernet Franc, 1% Petit Verdot. Iconic. Inspirational. Electric. A sensory overload but not in an over extracted, phony way just in such a dense, pure and decadent sense. Its massive but with a rapier like precision of cool and eucalyptus fresh Cabernet that takes your breath away. It has a very defined and ridiculously long finish. A finer, more Bordeaux like perfection than 2009, it is quite humbling,
