Cos D`Estournel 2015 is a highly celebrated red Bordeaux wine from the Saint-Estèphe appellation, classified as a Deuxième Cru Classé (Second Growth) in the prestigious 1855 Official Classification. The 2015 vintage in Bordeaux was excellent, particularly for the Left Bank, producing ripe, opulent, and highly age-worthy wines. The 2015 Cos d`Estournel is a classic Bordeaux blend, predominantly Cabernet Sauvignon (typically around 60-75%), supported by Merlot (around 20-35%), and smaller percentages of Cabernet Franc and Petit Verdot. The 2015 vintage saw a high proportion of Merlot, contributing to its lusciousness and early appeal. For example, the blend for 2015 was 75% Cabernet Sauvignon, 23% Merlot, and 2% Cabernet Franc.

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.

The 2015 Cos Estournel remains broody on the nose, with blackberry and pencil shavings as I observed several years ago. Indeed, this does not appear to have moved on much in the interim. The palate is medium-bodied with sapid black fruit, melted tar and spice. This has less tertiary notes than I recall and it's more linear and "correct" toward the finish. Give this another two or three years. The bottle served blind at Farr's 10-Year-On did not show as well, possibly because I feel this needs a long decant/aeration. Tasted at the 2015 Ten-Year-On tasting at Bordeaux Index. Neal Martin3rd June 2025
