Château Cos d'Estournel, G d'Estournel, Médoc, Bordeaux, France 2023

Smells cool and blue fruited, quite ripe also though, extremely fragrant with quite a lot of oak accents on the nose. Quite tart, high acidity on the palate, bright red fruits underpinned by a clear minerality that leaves a graphite and liquorice element on the tongue. A little lean, quite straight and a touch strict with acidity that sticks out. I like the cleanness and the sense of coolness and the elongated finish. 3% Petit Verdot completes the blend. Ageing 20% new oak. In organic conversion.
