One of the stars of the vintage, the 1992 Cos d'Estournel exhibits a deep rubypurple color, medium to full body, scents of smoky oak, and copious amounts of blackcurrant fruit. Velvety-textured and medium to full-bodied, this is an atypically ripe, concentrated, impressively-endowed wine
Impressive for the vintage, displaying a wonderful silky texture and plenty of blackberry and tobacco character.
