Chateau Cos d'Estournel is one of Saint Estephe's most iconic estates, celebrated for its depth, precision, and remarkable longevity. Dominated by Cabernet Sauvignon, it reveals aromas of blackcurrant, cassis, blackberry, graphite, cedar, cigar box, violet, and exotic spice. The palate is powerful yet impeccably balanced, with velvety tannins, vibrant freshness, and an exceptionally long, mineral-driven finish.
Food Pairing: Pair with beef Wellington, roast lamb, venison, duck breast, truffle dishes, or aged Comte for an unforgettable Left Bank Bordeaux experience.
98 Points - James Suckling
The richness and beauty of this wine are truly impressive, revealing pure flavors of black currant, cherry, mixed berries and fresh cloves. Full-bodied and beautifully layered, it is supported by exceptionally refined tannins that are so seamlessly integrated they are almost imperceptible. Creamy in texture with remarkable length, the finish evolves into notes of tar and licorice. Tightly wound at present, but the texture is exceptional. Best after 2027.
96 Points - Wine Spectator
A wine that stands apart with its ripe, sleek and highly polished character. Layers of creamed loganberry, plum and boysenberry are framed by hints of singed alder and incense, while black tea and savory nuances weave through the long, expressive finish. Showy, elegant and beautifully balanced. A blend of Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot, Cabernet Franc and Petit Verdot. Best from 2024 through 2038. 16,600 cases made.
95 Points - Wine Enthusiast
Rich and densely structured, this wine strikes an impressive balance between ripe fruit and a deceptively powerful framework. Smoky oak influences complement concentrated black fruit without overwhelming it, resulting in a harmonious and age-worthy wine. It promises excellent development in bottle and should be enjoyed from 2026 onward.
