it is once again magnificent

Showing very well now

black cherry and bilberry fruits penned in by muscular but welcoming tannins

The Frapin family have been vinegrowers and distillers in Charentes since 1270

with integrated structural tannins which support generous red and black fruits

2010 Cos d'Estournel, St Estèphe, Bordeaux UOM it is once again magnificent78% 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,
