Chateau Cos d'Estournel 1953 St. Estephe, 2eme Cru Classe u: low shoulder, mid shoulder, and one low-mid shoulder, likely seepage to all, bin soil and staining "The 1953, most recently drunk from magnums in 1994, 1993, and 1989, is a classic example of the vintage, displaying a huge, fragrant, flowery, berry-scented nose. From a regular bottle I suspect this wine could be on the downside, but from pristinely kept magnums, this fully mature wine is a terrific example of the vintage, and certainly one of the greatest wines of the century." R. Parker, 93 pts. 10/94 3 bottles
