The 2020 Château Cos D`Estournel is crafted from a blend of 62% Cabernet Sauvignon and 38% Merlot. Aged in 55% new French oak, the wine possesses an intense, inky colour and displays a concentrated yet impeccably balanced profile. It delights the senses with notes of cassis and dark currant fruits. Medium to full-bodied, it exhibits a richness that is well-complemented by ripe, gradually building tannins. It shows a remarkable sense of purity and elegance, further enhanced by its ample concentration.
98 The Wine Independent
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!Lisa Perrotti-Brown13th March 2023

Brilliant, just so much complexity and depth. The serious tannic heft means this is not the most exuberant Cos d'Estournel but it is such good quality, with edges of violet and peony alongside black tea, turmeric, cloves, blueberry, raspberry, waves of confident tannins, and sea-salted bitter chocolate. Harvest September 10 to 24, 39hl/ha yield, 3.9ph.Jane Anson20th February 2023
95 Vinous
The 2020 Cos d'Estournel has a more understated bouquet than its peers, demanding more coaxing from the glass to reveal its gravel-tinged black fruit—quintessential Saint-Estèphe, really. The palate is medium-bodied with fine tannins, white-pepper-infused black fruit, gentle grip and quite a persistent finish. It's a bit uncompromising at the moment, but it should evolve into an excellent wine. Tasted blind at the annual Southwold tasting.Neal Martin12th November 2024
