Tasting notes
Tasted blind. Ripe with polished tannins and the freshness of St-Estèphe. Real stoniness but with good fruit weight underneath. (JR)

The 2014 Goulée By Cos D’Estournel is a supple, enjoyable, slightly weedy 2014 offering moderate depth and richness, but certainly some charm.
The 2014 Goulée by Cos d'Estournel (to give it its full title) has a crisp, smoky, blackberry and cedar-scented bouquet that is well defined and displays good intensity. The palate is medium-bodied with grainy tannin, a fine line of acidity, supple in the mouth with blackberry, cedar and a dab of dark chocolate on the finish. This is better than earlier vintages and should drink well for several years.
