On s'intéresse aux gros monstres?

Le Cos 2005, dégusté à MPV 2009, était tout simplement un grand vin.....malgré sa grande jeunesse!
Barton devrait demeurer à prix "doux" avec les notes "douces" de Parker et surtout de la politique de prix de la maison.
Lynch c'est toujours bon! Un 96, dégusté il y a deux semaines, était magnifique et même réussi à coiffer Lafite du même millésime.

However, some flash points have emerged, most notably Cos d’Estournel. Parker gave it a score of 98-100 with an asterisk calling it “extraordinary…one of the greatest young wines I have ever tasted” while Neal Martin who also writes for the Wine Advocate, lamented the alcohol level, compared it to a wine from the Douro, and scored it 89-91. Tim Atkin noted the 14.5% alcohol on the label, called it over-the-top, compared it to an Australian shiraz and gave it 95 points. John Gilman wrote that the was “one of the worst young wines I have ever had to taste, as it displays an utter contempt for both the history of its region and the intelligence of its clients…I cannot imagine having to drink it. This is a train wreck of monumental proportions. 67-68 points.”

Je viens de m'inscrire et n'ai pas encore accès à la liste, quels sont les Sauternes offerts?

Je n'ai pas acheté de 2007 (du moins jusqu'ici) mais vais me laisser tenter par quelques jaunes 2009...

2009 Chateau Cos d’Estournel 89-91?
Tasted twice on separate occasions at the property. Stylistically, the Cos d’Estournel sets itself apart from the entire Left Bank, though I am uncertain whether this is a positive thing. Coming in with an IPT of 99 and tangible 14.5% alcohol, it is endowed with an extremely rich, decadent nose with macerated black cherries, cassis, a touch of crème de menthe, melted chocolate and a hint of fig. This is an extremely powerful nose that bears more relationship with the Douro than the Gironde. It is endowed with Leviathan tannins that form a massive, arching structure, moderate acidity, the power seeming to dominate the finish at the expense of a little finesse. This is a Cos d’Estournel that wants to make a bold impression. Leaving it for 15-20 minutes there is a change in the glass, becoming rounder and more harmonized, certainly some of the heat dissipating and yet one has to question whether stylistically, it has forsaken its identity as quintessential Saint Estephe? Another sample with one hour decanting with a little smoother and yet still showed a little hardness and alcohol on the finish. Tasted March 2010.
