Note di degustazione
Tasted blind. Dark crimson. Some ripeness and vitality on the nose. Sweet round start. Very alluring. Tannins well managed. Just slightly green on the end but within the context of the vintage this is very good. (JR)

This excellent project of Cos d’Estournel’s proprietor, Michel Reybier, awards the consumer with a delicious, up-front, seductive and sexy style of wine (60% Cabernet Sauvignon and 40% Merlot) with plenty of plum, black cherry and blackcurrant fruit, light tannin, medium body and excellent concentration and purity. This is what consumers should be flocking to buy more of, and what more Bordeaux estates should be producing. Kudos to Reybier and the staff at Cos d’Estournel. A sleeper of the vintage.
The tenth vintage. The vineyards, past Begadan, are much improved over the last three years with roots going a lot deeper. Bright dark crimson. Lots of gas and energy on the nose. Sweet start, much more polished than some previous vintages. Bounces along. I think this is my favourite Goulée so far. Just a little astringent on the finish. (JR)
