Der Chateau Cos d´Estournel 1994 präsentiert sich als beeindruckender St.-Estèphe mit vielschichtiger Aromenwelt. In der Nase entfalten sich würzige Noten von Ingwer, schwarzen Himbeeren, Kirschen und dezenten Eichenaromen, die durch eine harmonische Gewürzkomponente abgerundet werden. Am Gaumen zeigt er sich dicht und strukturiert, mit exzellenter Konzentration und einer bemerkenswerten Balance zwischen Säure und Frucht. Die geschmackliche Komplexität offenbart sich in Nuancen von Tabak, Beeren und Zedernholz, getragen von feinen, staubigen Tanninen und einem langen, ausdrucksstarken Abgang. Ein vollmundiger Bordeaux von außergewöhnlicher Güte.
"A word of admiration and praise is in order for Bruno Prats. One of St.-Estephe's most forward thinking producers, Prats is never content with merely making outstanding wine. Over the last few years he has improved Cos d'Estournel, already one of the great wines of Bordeaux, by eliminating any filtration at bottling, and replacing the standard paper label with one made of plastic so it will not disintegrate in damp, humid cellars. Additionally, the quality of his wines in such difficult vintages as 1992 and 1993 has been remarkable. Readers should also note that a second wine, the beautifully packaged Les Pagodes de Cos, has been implemented with the 1994 vintage. It appears to be a fine second wine. While tasting through Cos d'Estournel's wines, it was interesting to taste the unfiltered 1994 against the same cuvee of wine that was put through the normal filtration. The filtered cuvee was an excellent wine (I rated it 88), but as Bruno Prats and several other people at the tasting could easily see, it had less opacity, color, and aromatic interest, and far less volume and mid-palate. Most Bordeaux chateaux continue to do too much fining and filtering, but some of the more seriously run estates are curtailing the most abusive clarification procedures, and are finally opening their minds to the negative impact too much fining and filtration can cause. Sadly, most of my colleagues have fallen hook, line, and sinker for the standard response from oenologists and producers on this issue ... "fining and filtration have no effect on a wine."
"Outstanding quality for the vintage. A full-bodied Bordeaux that offers wonderful aromas of tobacco, berry and cedar, loads of refined tannins and a long, flavorful finish. Better from 2000. 22,000 cases made."
"Firm, medium-bodied, classic, tannic and with an herbal, green olive and leafy herb accent to the sharp, bright red fruits, the wine offers some rusticity to the dusty tannins in the finish. The nose is more interesting than the palate here. This is clearly an old-school wine that those wishing for days gone by might appreciate more than I did."
