The Story
Delicate and pure, G d’Estournel 2021 reveals a touch of salinity occasioned by the Gironde’s briny breezes and refined notes of rosemary, licorice, and sour cherry, resulting in a wine so nuanced and subtle that it is not without recalling an herbal infusion.
91 Points - Vinous
The 2021 G d’Estournel is pliant, deep and expressive right out of the gate. Succulent dark plum, blackberry, leather, grilled herbs, mocha and a kiss of new oak all take shape. Bright acids and lifted, savory aromatics lend freshness. Cos d’Estournel's Haut-Médoc is quite attractive in 2021.
