A fully mature Cos at its prime; delicious to drink with seamless texture and velvety tannins. Several different bottles opened in one evening prove this is a solid Cos that is the epitome of its 'old style' when subtlety was prized more than power.

Dark, rich and deeply concentrated. California-like, with its opulent coffee, herb, cedar, currant, coffee, mineral and spice flavors. Reaching a nice drinking plateau, but has substance, depth and a long, full finish.

Fully developed, the nose, with its spice box, tobacco leaf, forest floor, and cigar wrapper calls your name. Medium-bodied, fresh, vibrant, round, and packed with dark currants and red plums, this is ready to go. If you have a bottle, there is no reason to hold this any longer. It will not improve.

Medium ruby, mature tones. On the nose open and wonderfully fragrant with cedarwood, tobacco, spices, herbs. On the palate soft and accessible, medium body, very fine, melted tannin, the fruit appears warm and ripe, with lots of spice on the finish. A mature Cos that currently offers much drinking pleasure and should hold its plateau for several more years. Enjoy until 2026.

Tasted at the Cos d’Estournel dinner at St. John. Compared to the ’82, this is obviously lighter and less complex, aromas of smoky bacon crisps, chestnut, charcoal and autumn bonfire. A little dusty but it has good definition. Medium-bodied on the palate, very smooth, much fleshier than the ’86, very seductive although it does not aspire to be an intellectual wine. Yet it has that caressing texture, touches of wild strawberry, liquorice and saddle-leather towards the finish and a dash of white pepper on the aftertaste. A comely Saint Estephe, although it will not get any better.

Medium carmine garnet, broad ocher rim. Delicate forest berry fruit on the nose, a hint of dried plums, some orange zest, rather restrained bouquet, with air delicate malty-lactic notes. Juicy and powerful on the palate, again some plum roast, taut tannins that give the wine body, morello cherries on the finish, fresh, balanced overall expression.

A lovely wine. For me a perfect Cos, even from the start. This is what a claret is all about. Drink now or keep it five-ten years.

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
