The 2002 Cos d'Estournel is a blend of 58% Cabernet Sauvignon, 38% Merlot, 3% Cabernet Franc and 1% Petit Verdot. This vintage was late ripening with wonderful weather in September and very low yields this year. Deep garnet colored with a touch of brick, the palate sports tobacco, cedar chest and yeast extract scents over a core of figs, dried mulberries, fruitcake, sautéed herbs and cinnamon toast with a waft of oolong tea. Medium-bodied, the palate features bags of freshness, with firm yet grainy tannins and plenty of mature dried berry flavors, finishing long and spicy.

這是2002年份最優(yōu)秀的酒款之一，通體泛著濃郁的紫色，洋溢著一種經(jīng)典而高貴的香氣——石墨，這種香氣同時(shí)與黑醋栗、香料盒、甘草、紅色水果以及黑色水果的芬芳交融合一。其酒體中等偏飽滿，展現(xiàn)出絕妙的品種特色，層次復(fù)雜而精妙，是2002這個(gè)困難年份所出產(chǎn)的最成功的酒款之一，于2008-2020年之間飲用最佳。
