Wines served at the ASC auction at Aberdeen Marina Club.
2009 Goulée Blanc - nose of pipi de chat and toasty oak.
2005 Goulée Rouge - huge, sweet nose of strawberries, vanilla, mint and a hint of smoke.
2010 Cos d'Estournel - Jean-Guillaume was kind enough to ship over bottles of barrel samples from apparently yet another "vintage of the millennium". After the waiter poured the wine into my glass, I could smell it from half a meter away! A huge nose, with loads of mint, very alcoholic, very sweet, notes of forest, smoke, vanilla and cedar. Obviously not fully integrated but reasonably accessible for what it is.
2004 Les Pagodes de Cos - smoky, ripe, woody and meaty.
2004 Cos d'Estournel - sweet fruit, smoke, with some sweetness on the palate. Very classic.
2005 Stag's Leap Cabernet Sauvignon - smoky, big, concentrated and tannic. Not very interesting.
