Robert PARKER - The Wine Advocate January - 1998
Robert PARKER - The Wine Advocate
 The 1990 will charm tasters with its flashy display of opulent Merlot (about 40% of the blend) mixed with ripe Cabernet Sauvignon. It was one of the more forward 1990s in the tasting, which no doubt accounted for its precocious showing. This super-concentrated wine possesses a roasted herb, sweet, jammy black fruit-scented nose, with noteworthy opulence and succulence. Pure and full-bodied, this concentrated wine conceals more tannin than it is presently revealing. The wine is open, flattering, and impossible to resist.

Really lively and fragrant with much more charm than most St-Estèphes usually show. I wonder how the famous Ch Montrose 1990 would have shown? This splits the difference between the slightly demanding terroir effect and the richness of the vintage. Great balance. Slightly mineral notes. Rich, round and fruity. Clean, fresh and dense.

Popped and poured for Father’s Day, the wine is elegant, opulent, silky and fresh on the palate. The wine offers a strong cigar box and tobacco nose, along with distinctive mint and green peppery tones, with a touch of 5 spice, smoke, roasted cassis, cedar and pepper. This is fully mature. There is no reason to decant, except for sediment, or to hold any longer. It’s a gorgeous, old school expression of Cos d’Estournel this hits all the right notes.

A delicious bottle of Cos that is at its perfect peak even now at 32 years old. Layered, mellow, harmonious and subtle with much of its youthful vigor having settled into complex flavors that are giving and aromatic. Fairly long finish.

Dark color, of good intensity and evolved on the rim. Moderately aromatic nose with scents of ripe fruit and coffee. Touches of cedar and alcohol. Tender on the attack, flavorful in the middle, the wine develops tannic, spicy, with a coffee taste. It evolves tense on the palate with a surprising fruity presence. Very flavorful on the finish, it has the least dry and least woody tannins of this entire vertical tasting. Creamy and long finish. Very pleasant.

Medium ruby garnet, orange rim. On the nose, fine dark berry compote, herbal spice, noble wood notes, nuances of orange zest. On the palate, powerful and very present tannins, underpinned by pleasant extract sweetness, elegantly persistent, mineral, subtle spice on the finish, dark chocolate in the finish, a good example of how waiting is usually worthwhile with Bordeaux, as the wine has developed very well with maturity. - Peter Moser

Château Château Cos D'Estournel
Château Cos D'Estournel
Château Cos D'Estournel

Château Cos d'Estournel is one of the most iconic estates of the Saint-Estèphe appellation, on the left bank of Bordeaux. Classified as Second Grand Cru Classé in 1855, it owes its singular identity to its location on the Cos hillside and to the bold vision of its founder, Louis-Gaspard d'Estournel, a prominent figure of the 19th century nicknamed the "Maharajah of Saint-Estèphe".

From its beginnings, Cos d'Estournel established itself through an international ambition rare for the time, exporting its wines as far as Asia. This openness to the world is still reflected today in the unique architecture of the château, inspired by the Far East, a true visual signature in the Médoc. The vineyard rests on terroir of deep gravel mixed with clay, benefiting from the proximity of the Gironde estuary, giving the wines structure, depth and complexity.

Iconic vintages: Cos d'Estournel 1947, Cos d'Estournel 1952, Cos d'Estournel 1953, Cos d'Estournel 1961 or Cos d'Estournel 1996, Cos d'Estournel 2002, Cos d'Estournel 2005, Cos d'Estournel 2010
