The 1986 Cos d’Estournel is a Saint-Estèphe of refined maturity and elegance. Aromas of blackcurrant, cassis, and hints of cedar and tobacco are layered over silky, evolved tannins, giving the wine both structure and sophistication. Complex yet approachable, it pairs beautifully with roasted red meats, game, or aged cheeses. Each sip reveals layers of fruit, gentle spice, and nuanced earthy notes that have developed gracefully over decades.
