Sommelier

Deep garnet-purple in color. Requires a little swirling to unlock notes of fresh blackcurrants and kirsch, leading to suggestions of bay leaves, wet slate, and tapenade with a touch of violets. The light-bodied palate is refreshing and elegant with fine-grained tannins and a whispery finish.

WSET 1

Inky colour with violet edging, this is full of intense damson, incense, baked plum and black chocolate. A huge quantity of tannins but the texture is velvety, giving a creamy edge to the fruits, with contrast and freshness provided by orange zest and slate. Some of the old Merlot vines on gravel were picked early to tame them but generally the vineyard took the vintage in its stride, and almost 75% of production is in the 1st wine. Harvest September 7 to 23, 33hl/h yield, 90IPT, 50% new oak. Potential upscore in bottle.

Inside Bordeaux

The 2020 Cos d’Estournel has a deep garnet-purple color. It is very closed at this youthful stage but with much shaking it opens out to vivacious notes of crushed blackcurrants, juicy blackberries, kirsch, and cinnamon stick, plus suggestions of star anise, lilacs, and crushed rocks. The medium-bodied palate shimmers with energetic black fruit and mineral layers, supported by fine-grained, beautifully ripe tannins and seamless freshness, finishing very long and fragrant. A very elegant expression of Cos, and absolutely beguiling!

Composed of 65% Cabernet Sauvignon and 35% Merlot, the 2019 Cos d'Estournel is deep garnet-purple in color. It is slightly closed to begin, revealing slow-emerging scents of baked black cherries, mulberries, fragrant earth, and potpourri, leading to a core of warm cassis and pencil shavings. The medium to full-bodied palate is rock-solid, well-supporting the tightly wound, muscular black fruit, finishing with plenty of freshness and a minerally lift. It will require another 4-5 years to emerge from this cocoon and spread its wings.

The 2018 Cos d’Estournel has a deep garnet-purple color. It gives up notes of vanilla, dark chocolate, and licorice, over a core of blackcurrant cordial, stewed plums, and boysenberries. Medium to full-bodied, the palate is chock-full of black fruit preserves, with a rock-solid, grainy texture and a very long, spicy finish. 

Ekstremt steinete, kaffekake, tobakk, mørk bakst. Ekstremt pent strukturert, nydelig 17- utgave. 

Exceptional quality, silky tannins, cinammon, turmeric, cloves, grilled liqourice root, crushed rocks, almost seamless, so full of life and character, and brambled fruit. Chcooate, damson, so juicy and characterful, and singing of St Estèphe character, this is the appellation at its best. Decades ahead of it. Shame about the heavy bottle. 100% new oak.Michel Reybier owner, Aymeric de Gironde director (his last year in the role before heading over to Troplong Mondot).

A kick and a squeeze of brambled fruit sets the opening notes, and this captures the exuberance of the vintage, slowed down by a slate scrape expression of the tannins, together with cumin, cigar box, crayon and black pepper spice. Well judged, more luscious than many in this corner of the Médoc in 2015 and it works, delivering concentration and ageability. Scores higher than its 2014, unusually for St Estèphe. Michel Reybier owner, Aymeric de Gironde director.

Inky plum in colour, this kicks off with cloves, turmeric, black pepper and graphite, this is still tight and not yet fully opened, I suggest a long carafe if approaching any time soon. The tannic architecture is on full display, and the concentration of ripe black fruits suggests long ageing ahead.

The tannins maintain a firm grip on the frame, even a touch of youthful austerity which I have not found in many wines in the line up, this still feels like they can carry the cassis and blueberry fruit further. Edges of bitter chocolate, there is character to this wine, good quality, but abrupt on finish. Harvest 27 September and 10 October at 26.3hl/ha

The 2012 Cos d'Estournel is medium to deep garnet-purple colored. It features notes of mocha, cedar chest, and licorice over a core of warm cassis and blackberry preserves with a hint of wild sage. The medium-bodied palate has a chewy backbone of oak-inspired tannins with delicate fruit and an herbal, lifted finish.

The 2010 Cos d’Estournel is a blend of 78% Cabernet Sauvignon, 19% Merlot, 2% Cabernet Franc, and 1% Petit Verdot. Deep garnet colored, it needs a lot of shaking and swirling to unlock notes of crème de cassis, blueberry pie, and Indian spices, leading to fragrant wafts of dusty soil, cigar box, and dried lavender. The palate gracefully grows into a rich, full-bodied behemoth, delivering a rock-solid structure of firm, grainy tannins and bold freshness to support the taut, muscular fruit, finishing long and minerally.

A wine that caused plenty of arguments among critics and wine lovers at the time, and 15 years on it remains full on and pumped up. Silky texture, smoked caramel, intense cracked pepper, cloves, incense, olive peel, blackberry and damson fruits, impactful but a little too much even now. The terroir character is just starting to assert itself, and this is a one point upscore since I tasted it at the ten years on point. 100% new oak.

Vibrant, with stately ruby red depths, touches of smoked oak, grilled cocoa bean and liqourice. This is powerful, with depths to the slate-strewn tannins. Tobacco, saffron, sage, crushed stones, baked earth, there is an opulent ripeness to the fruit, just on the precipice of tertiary. A lovely wine, big shouldered still with a few years before reaching its plateau. A few years ago I wrote of the Cos 2005, 'Good luck trying to predict when this wine will reach its end', and I still absolutely stand by that comment. 100% new oak.

Ruby red. Violets, cassis, licorice, anise, exotic and sweet pipe tobacco. Fresh acidity. Blueberries, cassis, licorice, anise, tobacco and spice. Polished tannins. Very long.

Magnum.

Duft av tørket fruktig, samt røde jordbær, rosin, lys sjokolade, tobakk, lær, sedertre og hvit pepper.

Smak av tørket jordbær, syrlige lyse plommer, og lakris. Syren er fortsatt pen, og tanninene er silke. Medium + konsentrasjon.

Smakt hos Chateau Cos d'Estournel.

En fantastisk balansert vin. Finishen er herlig lang. Noter av tobakk, appelsinskall og mørke bær. Solbær og lær er også verdt å nevne.

En vin helt i sin prime.

Amatør

Tobakk, lær, kald kjeller, vanilje, søtlige plommer, anis, saltede kryddertoner, bjørnebær, solbær, modne moreller, og jordbær. Plukker samtidig opp noe grønt, chilli eller krydret paprika. 

Masse rød frukt på smak, jordbær, solbær og bjørnebær. Tobakk- preget henger elegant med. Nydelig struktur, høy konsentrasjon med lang finish. Tanninene er avslepne, men fortsatt merkbare. Syren er akk slik den skal være, og blendes godt inn i strukturen ved vinen sin helhet. 

Kan ligge lenger, men selvom så er drikke- gleden ekstrem. God jul!🍷🥰

Masse frukt her fortsatt. Moden rips, skogsbær og solbær. Lær, tobakk, lakris og eukalyptus. Stor utvikling i glasset og over noen timer lufting. Strukturen er helt myk og tanninene fullstendig nedbrytt. På helt perfekt sted nå etter min mening. 

Elegant og delikat med myk struktur nå. Masse rød frukt og krydrete toner med eukalyptus. Cedartre, tobakk og noe jordlig mot slutten. Bra flaske!

Ja takk mer av dette!

Fyldigmed eksplosjon av mørke bær. Fantastisk perfyme. 

Ruby red with a garnet rim. Exotic and spicy with blueberries, blackberries, leather, figs and minerals. Fresh acidity. Vibrant with blackberries, sweet cherries, licorice and leather. Nice structure with integrated tannins. Long

This mature bottle of Cos D'Estournel was just superb. Lighter than I would have expected from Cos (usually a rather heavy wine with chocolate, coffee etc). Very nice indeed!

Ekstremt ung vin for alderen. 
Bekmørk farge med duft av karamell og «lakris». 
Som sort kremfløte i munnen og en lang finish der tanninene slipper mens smaken holder ut. Overraskende bra igjen fra Cos

Gjennomsyret kork, ingen lukt eller seepage. 

Startet med svak duft av frukt. 
Dekantert i 1 time. 

Ved servering: duft av moden mørk frukt og solbær. Smak av pepper og moden frukt. 

Tynn i konsistensen men meget god. Drukket til and.

Særs overasket over at denne var livlig etter nesten 70 år!

Tasted at Lafite (alongside the Lafite Rothschild 1988, which was delicious but did not overshadow this amazing wine). Ethereal, if a wine can truly be described that way. Gossamer fine tannins, a blush of raspberry and blackberry fruits, giving way to undergrowth, white truffle, barely-there saffron and cold ash. It had been held in the cellars at Lafite for as long as the current generation can remember, so had not travelled more than 300m from its site of production. There is no realistic drink by date on this wine, and the blend is also unknown, although almost certainly dominant Cabernet Sauvignon (possibly with Malbec, Castet, Cabernet Franc alongside, perhas a trace of Merlot). The Basque Errazu family had been owners of Cos since just the year before, buying from London banker Charles-Cecil Martyns in 1869. I hardly need to add that the score means nothing - it is just a number to tell you that drinking this wine provided an exceptional moment in time.
