Cos d'Estournel 2001 St. Estephe, France

I'm quickly going through my half-case of this wine. It's pretty good, and I think I'll have polished off my stash before the wine even hits its stride. It has very nice aromas of graphite and leather, with rich fruit peeking through as well. The palate is tight and focused, with a little bit of gaminess to it. Very intriguing.
