Currently owned by French entrepreneur Michel Reybier, Cos d`Estournel is the highly regarded wine producer situated in the Saint-Estèphe appellation of the Médoc. Most of its releases are high scorers among the critics, making it a particularly appealing wine for collectors and investors. This is the 1990 vintage of its Grand Vin, a blend of 60% Cabernet Sauvignon and 40% Merlot. The wine is at its peak, delivering aromas of cigar box, mature dark fruit, shaved pencil and hints of mint and smoke. The palate is balanced and textured, with lovely beads of acidity.

The 1990 Cos d’Estournel is a vintage that I have not tasted for several years. I have always had a soft spot for the 1990. It does not disappoint with gorgeous scents of clove, bay leaf, and warm gravel that are almost Pomerol-like in style. The palate is fresh and lively. This 1990 is very well balanced and eschews the warmth of that summer and allows the terroir to shine. It grips the mouth and offers black truffle and sage towards the slightly grainy textured finish that lingers on the palate. What a sublime Cos d’Estournel. Well-kept bottles will be giving immense pleasure although, you can envisage this lasting another fifteen years, possibly twenty.

Mature, dried fruit with a little chemical note lingering in the background. Medium body, beef-gravy flavour on the finish, but as the fruit is now almost dry, there is an increasing soupiness to this – needs drinking up. (RH) Richard Hemming13th August 2025
