The Story
The Château Cos d'Estournel 2021 is a red wine from the Saint-Estèphe appellation, known for its density and muscularity. It showcases aromas of dark berries, cassis, charcoal, and sweet cigar wrapper, along with subtle notes of smoked meats and toasty oak. The palate is medium to full-bodied, fleshy, and concentrated, with sweet, generously extracted tannins and a long, lusty finish.
96 Points - Wine Enthusiast
Dense and seriously structured, this wine with its polished leather and cedar aromas is concentrated in tannins. The wine's structure dominates, partnering acidity and ripe texture. Drink from 2028.
95 Points - James Suckling
Floral aromas with violets, lavender and currants. Lead pencil, too. Medium-bodied, with fine tannins that caress and please. Elegant and sophisticated. Linear line of tannins running through this. Needs two or three years to soften.
93 Points - Robert Parker's Wine Advocate
