99/100 @cosdestournel Saint-Estephe 2nd Grand Cru Classe 1988 . Ripe Black currant Black cherry leather tobacco cigar box clove nutmeg grounded coffee bean farmyard earthy forest floor black truffle prune and date . M body H acidity M alcohol 12.5% M+ soft tannins P intensity L finish . Tasted blind I called Ch.Margaux 2000... EXCELLENT definition, hyper complexity, ultra young (for a 32yo wine), still in perfect peak, big concentration and endless finish! The primary fruits are so intense and lively that I thought it was a Napa Valley at the first sniff . #WineDoctorateSchool #photooftheday #winelover #winelovers #winecountry #wineoclock #winebar #winetasting #foodandwine #winetime #winenight #winelife #winery #lifestyle #winestagram #instawine #wineporn #sommelier #winetasting #wine #vineyard #london #luxury #red #bordeaux #saintestephe #cabernetsauvignon #merlot #cabernetfranc #sommelier
