Tasting notes
Smart money will go after the 1989 and 1990. The 1989 is black/ruby in color, with a huge bouquet of cassis, this formidable wine has layers of extract, a very high tannin level, and a hefty level of alcohol. Anticipated maturity: 1995-2015.

Big and tannic red. Dark-ruby in color. Mint, chocolate and berry aromas. Full-bodied and very tannic, with a mouthpuckering, velvety texture. Still needs time. Best Cos-Labory ever made.--1989 Bordeaux horizontal. Best after 2005. James Suckling, Wine spectator 1999.

About the producer

Louis Gaspard d’Estournel purchased Cos Labory in 1847 and in tribute to this history, the Reybier family (owners of Cos d’Estournel today) acquired the Saint-Estèphe estate and its 35 hectares of vines in 2023.
