The 2018 Château Cos d`Estournel reveals aromas of raisins, cinnamon, marzipan and ginger. It is a stylish and complex wine, with attractive floral cassis, exotic incense, black fruits and minerals. The fruit feels natural and ripe, and the tannins grip the palate and coat the taste buds with real aplomb. Sold in lovely half bottle.
The 2018 Cos d’Estournel showed a lot of promise when I tasted it from barrel. Now in bottle and given a 2–3-hour decant, it has a gorgeous and disarmingly pure bouquet, slightly high-toned with iodine scents infusing the lush blackberry and boysenberry scents. The oak is seamlessly integrated. The palate is fresh and crisp on the entry, delivering silky-smooth tannins, perfect acidity and a sense of harmony than is very persuasive. I cannot recall a Cos d’Estournel in recent years with such fine tannins. It gently fans out toward the finish while retaining superb precision, completing what is a beautifully crafted Cos d’Estournel with a long future ahead. - Neil Martin

Cos d`Estournel

Cos d`Estournel

Since it was acquired by French businessman Michel Reybier in 2000, Château Cos d`Estournel has cemented its position as one of the top wine estates in the Médoc. This illustrious Second Growth produces a celebrated first wine, in addition to a second red, Les Pagodes de Cos and a white, Cos d’Estournel Blanc.

The key grape variety is Cabernet Sauvignon, together with Merlot and smaller amounts of both Cabernet Franc and Petit Verdot. A superb example of high-class St-Estèphe, Château Cos d`Estournel is renowned for its powerful, rich wines, packed full of cassis character, with complex nuances of slate and graphite.
