93 Robert Parker
The 2018 Cos Labory has a deep garnet-purple color, bursting from the glass with bold notes of warm cassis, blackberry compote and Morello cherries, plus suggestions of roses, unsmoked cigars and tree bark. The medium-bodied palate has a very sturdy frame of firm, grainy tannins and tons of freshness supporting the rather delicately played fruit, finishing long and earthy/minerally. The structure stands out a little now, which I enjoy, but for those preferring softer, rounder expressions, give this a good 3-5 years in the cellar and drink it over the next 15-20 years.

Aromas of blackberries and blueberries with cloves, graphite and dark chocolate. It’s medium-to full-bodied with firm, tight-grained tannins. Sleek and refined with an austere, mineral finish. But polished texture. Better from 2024.
Producer
Château Cos Labory
Château Cos Labory owes its name to the word caux, meaning "stony hill", and to François Labory, who owned the estate from 1820 to 1840. Purchased in 1845 by Monsieur d’Estournel, Cos Labory was sold in 1852 to Charles Martyns, an English banker. Included in the famous 1855 Classification, this great growth has belonged to the Audoy family for over half a century. Located on the famous gravelly rise of Cos, the eighteen-hectare vineyard benefits from remarkable sun exposure. It is planted with traditional grape varieties. Major investments have been made over the past several years and Château Cos Labory now relies on the latest technology to produce their great wines. Great attention is paid during fermentation and ageing, which are adapted to the character of each vintage. Cos Labory combines power, elegance, and structure making it a traditional Saint-Estèphe.
