2017 Cos d'Estournel, St Estèphe, Bordeaux

Description

Dense and deep the 2017 is reserved and brooding on the nose coming at you with a wave of blackcurrant and crème de cassis. A blend of 66 percent Cabernet Sauvignon, 32 percent Merlot, one percent Cabernet Franc and one percent Petit Verdot. The palate is suave and silky with a fresh, seductive character and a graphite, spicy finish. Really very good.

Critics reviews

Lisa Perrotti-Brown MW 97-100/100
The final blend of the 2017 Cos d'Estournel is 66% Cabernet Sauvignon, 32% Merlot, 1% Petit Verdot and 1% Cabernet Franc. Very deep purple-black in color, it offers up intense scents of crushed blackcurrants, blackberries and black cherries with touches of incense, spice cake, star anise and plum preserves plus a perfumed hint of potpourri. The palate is medium-bodied with very firm yet wonderfully ripe, sweet, fine-grained tannins at just 13% alcoholsomething of a miracle in our modern times. The palate sports fantastic freshness and tons of energy emitted from the intensely perfumed black fruit layers, finishing on an epically long-lingering mineral note. Truly profound.Lisa Perrotti-Brown - 27/04/2018

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.
