89 Cos

Drinking at home.

1989 Cos d'Estournel - started drinking 30 minutes after decanting. Very silky smooth on the palate. Smoky nose with some cassis, a bit of leather, some grilled meats, a little wood, and a really nice fragrance. Still got the silky tannins on the finish. A little sharp on the nose after 1 hour, but w hours after decanting this was more elegant and rounded on the nose. Started to get minty some 2½ hours after decanting, with a slight hint of green capsicums. After 3½ hours we've got some fragrant, toasty coffee coming out. Drinking so well right now.
