A blend of 80% Cabernet Sauvignon and 20% Merlot, this wine displays an opaque ruby/purple color and notes of damp earth, forest floor, white chocolate, sweet black currants and spice box. The wine is round, full-bodied and luscious, with 14.7% natural alcohol. Although meant for early consumption, it should easily last up to a decade or more.
Goulee's 2010 is another sleeper of the vintage from Michel Reybier, the proprietor of Cos d'Estournel.
Bright and fruity, with raspberry and plums. Full, soft and velvety. Love the acidity.
80% Cabernet Sauvignon, 20% Merlot. From the same three vineyard blocks as always but Jean-Guillaume Prats admitted that it has taken his team some time to fully understand how they react to different weather conditions. Very deep crimson purple. Attractive freshness on the nose. Round at first though quite sculpted later on the palate. Clean and fresh with no hint of overripeness. And only the tiniest hint of green. Dry finish - very complete and nicely done. Brisk and clean.
Lots of spicy black fruits, rich flavours but more controlled than in the rest, a very good wine. Drink 2014-20.
A sleeper of the vintage, this offering from the owners of Cos d'Estournel is a high quality, impeccably well-made Bordeaux displaying a dark ruby/purple hue along with notes of chocolate, black currants, herbs and spice. Opulent, round and full-bodied, it achieved 14.7% natural alcohol and should drink well for 7-8 years.
