Cos d`Estournel Magnum 2012 offers a classic St.-Estèphe experience. This vintage presents a profile of graphite, blackcurrant, and ripe plum, supported by nuances of cedar and tobacco. It displays a medium to full-bodied structure marked by well-integrated tannins. The wine achieves an alcohol content of 13.5%, with a blend of approximately 75% Cabernet Sauvignon, 20% Merlot, and the remainder comprising Cabernet Franc and Petit Verdot. Cos d`Estournel, founded in 1811 by Louis Gaspard d`Estournel, is known for its historical Asian influence in wine trade. Allow for 5-7 years of cellaring for optimal enjoyment.

Plenty of exotic spices, saffran, clove, black pepper, turmeric, cassis, with sandalwood, gunsmoke and cedar smoke. Both character and bite, with plenty of impact. 50% of overall production, this is a successful Cos d'Estournel with plenty to recommend, capturing the gourmet sweetness of the vintage. 70% new oak.Jane Anson30th March 2022
92 Vinous
The 2012 Cos d'Estournel has a perfumed bouquet with blackberry, cedar, undergrowth and black pepper aromas all well-defined and focused, with more vigour than many of its peers. The palate is medium-bodied with fine-grain tannins, good acidity, maybe a tad strict and dry on the finish, yet I admire its intensity and terroir expression. There was some bottle variation here, one bottle dominated by wood, the other more typical Cos d'Estournel with plenty of fruit. Tasted twice at Bordeaux Index's Ten Year-On tasting and blind at the Southwold Ten-Year On tasting. Neal Martin27th September 2022

The 2012 Cos d'Estournel is medium to deep garnet-purple colored. It features notes of mocha, cedar chest, and licorice over a core of warm cassis and blackberry preserves with a hint of wild sage. The medium-bodied palate has a chewy backbone of oak-inspired tannins with delicate fruit and an herbal, lifted finish.Lisa Perrotti-Brown16th February 2023
