Description
Really very generous fruit on the palate is accompanied by fine, ripe tannins and a very good finish. There is a lushness to the fruit here which I really enjoy. Nice weight, depth, but poised and clean. It’s sweet, soft, succulent, juicy, round and joyous. It's also very promising to see this second wine follow hard in the footsteps of its grand vin.

About this wine
Cos d'Estournel
Château Cos d`Estournel is named after its 19th century owner, Louis-Gaspard d'Estournel, and it was he who built the bizarre oriental edifice that is a landmark for any tourist in the Médoc. Today Cos d'Estournel is without doubt the leading estate in St-Estéphe. It is located in the south of the appellation on the border with Pauillac and its vineyards are superbly sited on a south-facing gravel ridge with a high clay content, just north of Lafite.

Saint-Estèphe
Saint-Estèphe is the northernmost of the most important communes of the Médoc, bordering Pauillac on its southernmost border, with only a gully and stream separating it from Ch. Lafite Rothschild. The wines can appear austere in youth, but the best typically display good depth of colour, pronounced acidity and tannins in youth, and are exceptionally long-lived. At their best, they are the equal of almost any Bordeaux.
