Cos D’Estournel 1961
CRITIC REVIEWS
Neal Martin
A garnet/mahogany core that is again lacking clarity. There is certainly some intensity there with lovely cherry compote, peppermint and violets. Very well-balanced on the palate with fine tannins. Good delineation and freshness (enfin) with a fleshiness engendered by the ripe Merlot. Very smooth, not amazing complex but a lovely Saint Estephe that is at its peak now. A sumptuous, pretty 1961 and a lovely wine. This could last another 10 years. Tasted November 2005.

Typically dark and densely pigmented with no sign of browning at the edge, this big, intense, concentrated, still tannic wine has at least a decade of life left in it. The fragrant bouquet offers up scents of cedar, oriental spices, and fruitcake. It is very rich, deep, and long on the palate, with masses of ripe black fruits. An opulent beauty! Anticipated maturity: Now-2000. Last tasted, 1/91.
