17 Rene Gabriel
Sattes Purpur-Granat, dicht in der Mitte, lila Schimmer aussen. Tiefgründiges, würziges Bouquet, tintig im Ansatz, Heidelbeerennoten. Saftiger Gaumen mit einem schönen Schmelz, angenehme Süsse im dezent schokobitteren Extrakt. Der Blend besteht aus 55 % Cabernet Sauvignon und 45 % Merlot und weist einen Alkoholgehalt von 14.25 % auf. Bernard Ardouin kann sich nicht erinnern, dass sich so etwas Grossartiges schon einmal auf seinem Weingut zugetragen hat. Ein Kandidat für 18/20 in seiner Genussreife.

This is nicely rendered, with mulled plum and smoldering tobacco flavors that show a lacing of pastis, all wrapped with notes of baker's chocolate and singed iron. There's a smoky rusticity on the finish, but with enough flesh and length for balance. Drink now through 2019. 8,700 cases made

Much more narrowly defined than most 2009s, the opaque purple-colored Cos Labory reveals some jagged, raspy tannins. Although it appears to have plenty of concentration, its disjointedness is worrisome. (Tasted once.)
Producer
Château Cos Labory
Château Cos Labory owes its name to the word caux, meaning "stony hill", and to François Labory, who owned the estate from 1820 to 1840. Purchased in 1845 by Monsieur d’Estournel, Cos Labory was sold in 1852 to Charles Martyns, an English banker. Included in the famous 1855 Classification, this great growth has belonged to the Audoy family for over half a century. Located on the famous gravelly rise of Cos, the eighteen-hectare vineyard benefits from remarkable sun exposure. It is planted with traditional grape varieties. Major investments have been made over the past several years and Château Cos Labory now relies on the latest technology to produce their great wines. Great attention is paid during fermentation and ageing, which are adapted to the character of each vintage. Cos Labory combines power, elegance, and structure making it a traditional Saint-Estèphe.
