Fine Wines from the Estate of Wilfred Yu, Toronto. Perfectly Stored in a Custom Built Wine Cellar.
2005 Chateau Cos d'Estournel St Estephe from this lot has the following scores - James Suckling 99 points, Jeb Dunnuck 99 points, The Wine Advocate 98 points, Wine Spectator 98 points, Gary Vaynerchuk - Wine Library TV 98 points, Vinous 97 points, Wine Enthusiast 97 points, Decanter 97 points, The Wine Front 97 points. This is the tasting note for 2005 Chateau Cos d'Estournel St Estephe from Robert Parker - The 2005 Cos d'Estournel is blended of 78% Cabernet Sauvignon, 19% Merlot and 3% Cabernet Franc. Deep garnet colored, it is still a little closed and youthfully shy. With coaxing, the nose is just beginning to offer glimpses at vivacious kirsch, red roses, violets, licorice and mocha scents over a crème de cassis, blackberry pie and chocolate-covered cherry core with wafts of chargrill, mossy bark and truffles. Full-bodied, concentrated and wonderfully complex in the mouth, the palate is just beginning to reveal the true potential of this wine, with tightly wound layers of perfumed black fruits and earthy notions bound by a rock-solid frame of firm, grainy tannins and finishing with epic persistence. This still needs 5-6 years, but I love how this beauty is shaping up.
