Cos d'Estournel - 1982 (750ml) Tokaj not exhibiting the hard edgeThis 1982 is still displaying a beautiful deep ruby purple hue as well as a stunning set of aromatics consisting of blue and black fruits, loamy earth, flowers, licorice, and spice box. The wine is medium to full bodied with sweet tannins, a medium to full bodied mouthfeel, and a silky finish. It appears to have hit full maturity, but it can easily be held in a cold cellar for another 10+ years. Release price: ($115. 00 case) Robert Parker 95 points
