100 Points - Jeb Dunnuck
The 2022 Château Cos d'Estournel is one of the greatest wines Jeb Dunnuck has ever tasted and a true monument in the making.

Full-bodied, massively concentrated and impeccably balanced, it delivers a layered palate, flawless structure and an extraordinary finish of immense length.

Intensely aromatic, with notes of nutmeg, cloves, ink, blackberries, asphalt, pencil lead and tobacco. Full-bodied yet remarkably balanced, it combines incredible depth with polished but firm tannins that promise exceptional longevity. A superbly structured, neo-classical Cos d'Estournel and potentially the finest ever produced. Crafted from 61% Cabernet Sauvignon, 37% Merlot, 1% Cabernet Franc and 1% Petit Verdot.
97 Points - Decanter
Vibrant aromas of blackcurrant, milk chocolate, vanilla and delicate floral notes introduce a lively, energetic palate. Flavors of blackcurrant, black cherry, damson and orange rind are framed by firm, finely textured tannins, with accents of licorice, flint, dark chocolate and clove adding complexity. Powerful yet remarkably refined, it balances impressive depth with freshness and precision, creating a complete and compelling Saint-Estèphe with outstanding aging potential.
97 Points - Wine Spectator
Deep, dark and brooding, this wine layers richly concentrated dark currant, blackberry and fig flavors over a plush, beautifully integrated structure. Notes of sweet tobacco, bay leaf, tar and chestnut add complexity, while a warm stone minerality carries through the exceptionally long finish. Crafted from Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot, Petit Verdot and Cabernet Franc, it is an impressive expression of the vintage.
94 Points - Robert Parker's Wine Advocate
The 2022 Château Cos d'Estournel remains a deeply colored, brooding wine with aromas of ripe berries, licorice, pencil shavings, iris and creamy new oak. Full-bodied, dense and powerfully extracted, it emphasizes strength and structure with a muscular, tannic profile that favors raw intensity over immediate charm. Built for extended aging, it is a formidable expression of Cos d'Estournel.
