Château Cos d'Estournel

Saint-Estèphe Red Bordeaux Blend 2005

2005 vintage. Decanted and tasted immediately and through 3 hours. Great fill/appropriate aging cork. Medium sed. Noticeably dark color. Any trace of the usual Cos baby fat for the first decade+ after release long gone geek. Interesting. This was a lean, mean, street-fighting machine with "minerality" to spare. Intense. Compact. Unsure if it will continue to menace in the next decade of life or retreat into a reclusive, "turtling" period. Best guess? Street-fighter par excellence. Regardless of taking the high or low road, it's not devolving into a drink 'em if you got 'em any time soon scenario. Thanksgiving 11.23.23. — 2 years ago

Schrader Cellars

CCS Beckstoffer To Kalon Vineyard Cabernet Sauvignon 2014

Strong out of the gate. Very textured and supple. Would have guessed there is a blend with Merlot going on for how supple it is. Lots of cassis and also length. It narrowed after a few hours though but remained good but did retreat from great. — 3 years ago
