Description

Under the proprietor Bruno Pratts, Cos has gone from strength to strength. The 1996 is a fabulous wine and the best since 1990. "From its saturated black/ruby/purple colour, to its knockout nose of Asian spices, licorice, tobacco-tinged cassis fruit, and plum like jam, this full-bodied wine will enjoy an immensley impressive future. 94-96 points." Robert Parker

Staff Reviews

  • "Wow! A sensational bouquet of sweet blueberries, cassis, espresso, cigar box, coal, licorice, roasted herbs and earth. In the mouth the wine is big, fleshy and very showy. Mocha, cassis and bitter chocolate dominate, with more subtle flavours of roasted herbs, mint and a hint of smoky bacon on the finish. Tannins are generous but soft and silky and partner well with the immense power of this wine. One word to describe this wine? Awesome! Definitely ready to drink now, but will reward those with the patience to cellar for another 10 years or so."
