Tasted blind. Blackish ruby. Clean as a whistle, very generous and sweet with a tannic undertow. Rather reminds me of the structure of a Pichon Lalande. (JR)

Not much on the nose. Opulent palate entry – so sleek it’s difficult to find the tannins! Not quite enough freshness and fruit, instead, all polish. (JR)

One of the finest wines I have tasted from this estate, the 2005 Cos Labory exhibits a deep ruby/purple hue, aromas of road tar, blackberries, creme de cassis, forest floor, smoke, and graphite, medium to full body, and abundant tannin. It is a complete, dense effort with high tannins in the finish. Once the tannins melt away, it should represent an outstanding example of the vintage. Anticipated maturity: 2015-2030.
