Robert PARKER - The Wine Advocate August - 1993
Robert PARKER - The Wine Advocate
This has consistently been a good, medium-weight, elegant wine with little evolution to its medium ruby color and solid, but unexciting bouquet of cassis, new oak, and licorice. There is adequate body, crisp acidity, and a new world style to it. I like the 1979 Cos, but after having drunk almost a case of it, I must admit it has never proven that exciting.

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
