99 James Suckling
This is so aromatic with blackcurrants, black berries and raspberries. Pure fruit, together with coffee and nutmeg. Really fresh and clean with bright spices. Full-bodied, yet reserved and tight with fantastic structure. So long. This is a great Cos for the cellar. A real benchmark for the true character. Needs at least five or six years to open and come around. Try after 2029.

The 2019 Cos d'Estournel is a deep, powerful wine. That has been true on both times I have tasted it recently. Readers will have to be patient. Those who can afford it will be rewarded with a towering, statuesque Saint-Estèphe. With a bit of air the fruit starts to emerge, but this is a very reticent Cos that does not show the opulence that it often does in its youth. Gravel, smoke, incense, tobacco and dried flowers gradually unfurl over time, hinting at a very bright future. The 2019 is impressive. That's all there is to it. Tasted two times. -- Antonio Galloni

Dark and winey, featuring black currant, fig and blackberry preserve flavors laced with a smoldering hint of cast iron, plus notes of anise, apple wood, sweet bay leaf and warm earth. The finish offers a long sanguine thread that stitches it all up. Gorgeous. Cabernet Sauvignon and Merlot. Best from 2024 through 2040. 15,000 cases made, 3,000 cases imported. — JM

Produttore
Château Cos d'Estournel
Producendo alcuni dei più grandi vini del Médoc, Château Cos d'Estournel è senza dubbio la prima tenuta di Saint-Estèphe. I 91 ettari di vigneti circondano tutto il territorio della tenuta maestosa, quasi orientale, situata sulla collina di Cos. Nell'Ottocento il fondatore, Louis Gaspard d'Estournel, era conosciuto come "il Maharajah di Saint-Estèphe" per le sue conquiste esotiche, con i suoi vini che arrivavano fino in India. Costruì le pagode esotiche che vediamo oggi per celebrare i suoi successi. La proprietà attualmente appartiene al multi-milionario francese Michel Reybier, che ha portato avanti i valori fondanti dell'eccellenza e ha rafforzato la qualità a partire dal 2000. Gli imponenti investimenti di Reybier in tecnologie all'avanguardia hanno portato la tenuta a nuove altezze. Le rinomate tecniche di vinificazione includono la concentrazione del mosto, la malolattica in botte e il rovere nuovo per l'invecchiamento. Il Cos d'Estournel è un vino longevo, robusto ma armonioso che sviluppa l'intensità e la complessità con un invecchiamento di dieci anni. Il secondo vino fu chiamato inizialmente Marbuzet, un Cru Bourgeois, ma ora è imbottigliato come Les Pagodes de Cos.
