55% Cabernet Sauvignon, 45% Merlot, here is a pleasantly rounded 2001 vintage from illustrious Second Growth Château, Cos d’Estournel. Silky and velvety, with a very long finish. A superb example of high-class St-Estèphe.

The 2001 Cos d’Estournel has long been one of the best wines from this period. It has a well-defined bouquet with more red than black fruit, vivid scents of raspberry and wild strawberry, just a hint of desiccated orange peel and humidor. The palate is medium-bodied with impressive structure, the fruit profile veering more towards black with that telltale meat juice/tobacco notes surfacing towards the delineated and focused finish. As I have commented previously, there is a sense of symmetry that means some will prefer it to the millennial Cos d’Estournel. Tasted at the Cos d’Estournel vertical in London.Neal Martin23rd December 2024

Blackish crimson. Scented. Flatters, but underneath quite light. Chewy. Slightly inky. Quite tough. Very dry. A bit skinny. Dramatic, but a little bit soulless. Courageously small proportion, 40 per cent, of grand vin from the total crop, and Cabernet Sauvignon only 55 per cent of the blend. (JR)
