1985 Chateau Cos d'Estournel, Saint-Estephe, France (750ml) Sweet sweet herbs and a crispTASTING NOTES: The 1985 from cask could have been a lighter version of the 1982 and 1953 vintages. Forward, with a fabulously scented bouquet of pain grille and concentrated red and black fruits (especially black cherries), it is rich, lush, long, and medium to full bodied. Very fragrant, with gobs of sweet black fruits, minerals, and spice in both its flavors and aromatics, this is one of the most forward wines from Cos. Robert Parker, 93 pts. Dark,
