1995 Charles Heidsieck ?Blanc de Millenaires? Champagne Apple, peach and croissant, lively, good length, high dosage. B+/A-
2014 Cos d?Estournel Blanc My first time tasting this. Pear, grapefruit and oak, flavor profile like an oaked Loire, but without the snap. Think a rounder Dagueneau. Perfectly pleasant, but poor QPR. But really fun to try. B-/BThe reds
1982 Ch. Cos d?Estournel I think others liked a lot more than I did. Some leathery brett, dark fruits, more advanced than most 82 classed growths I?ve had recently. B1985 Ch. Cos d?Estournel This is about as close to elegant as you?re going to get with Cos. Red cherry, tobacco, a little lead pencil. Full and powerful but with balance. B+/A-
1986 Ch. Cos d?Estournel Fresh cassis fruit, powerful, extracted without being heavy. Some coffee/mocha. A-/B+1989 Ch. Cos d?Estournel This is tannic, tight and surly. Not like other ?89s I?ve had recently. Not fun. B- for drinking this night
1990 Ch. Cos d?Estournel Ripe , smoky, pushing the edge but I liked. B+1995 Ch. Cos d?Estournel More open than expected but still young, this has a lot of potential. Black fruited, B/B+ for now but think this will be quite good
2000 Ch. Cos d?Estournel Ripe but with tangy acids, cassis and black olive, I think this will be good, lots of potential. For now B/B+2003 Ch. Cos d?Estournel Jammy, a little volatile note, tannic. I think others liked more than me but that didn?t take much. I?ve had 2003 Medocs I like, this just wasn?t one. B-/C+
