Cos D'Estournel 1996 caíno-tinto All the grapes were destemmed

All the grapes were destemmed and there was no pigeage (Goisot prefers to extract tannins gently and only from the grape’s skins rather than the pips)

The Hay Shed Hill Cabernet Merlot highlights the strength of Margaret River in producing medium-bodied

the palate has well balanced sugar and acid with fresh lime flavours

Then it becomes more savoury textured as a core of dark fruits and chocolate underpinned by cedary oak and tannin carries through to the finish

Undergoes complete MLF and is matured on lees for 11 months with some bâtonnage

Cos D'Estournel 1996 caíno-tinto All the grapes were destemmedA great success for the vintage, with a first wine comprised of only 25% of the harvest; young, dark color; the gravel soils protected the harvest from rains, and resulted in considerable concentration, tannic solidity, much body and superb aromatic complexity. Blend: 65% Cabernet, 35% Merlot
