Produkt
Der Château Cos d'Estournel ist ein kräftiger und charmanter Wein, für einen Saint-Estèphe ist er grosszügig und von erstaunlicher Finesse. Der 2. Cru Classé kann lange im Keller gelagert werden. Die Assemblage aus hauptsächlich Cabernet Sauvignon (bis zu 80%) wird 18 Monate in Holzfässern (ca. 80% neues Holz) ausgebaut. Der Weinkeller von Cos d'Estournel befindet sich in einem architektonisch aussergewöhnlichen Gebäude und ist weltweit einzigartig: Der Transfer von einem Behälter in den anderen erfolgt durch Schwerkraft, um die Qualität des Weins zu bewahren.

Wineadvocate

The 2018 Cos d'Estournel is a blend of 74% Cabernet Sauvignon, 23% Merlot, 2% Petit Verdot and 1% Cabernet Franc, aged in 50% new oak barriques. The alcohol weighs in at just over 14.5%. Sporting a deep purple-black color, it needs a lot of swirling to begin to unlock a powerful nose of crème de cassis, stewed plums, wild blueberries and chocolate-covered cherries, followed by nuances of Sichuan pepper, star anise, tree and clove oil, plus a waft of charcoal. The full-bodied palate is densely packed with taut, muscular black fruits and earthy layers, framed by super firm, ripe, grainy tannins and seamless freshness, finishing very long and wonderfully earthy. A very impressive behemoth, this is going to need a good seven to 10 years to truly show its stuff and should drink for a good 40 years and beyond. LP-B March 2021

Vinous

The 2018 Cos d'Estournel is a racy, powerful Saint-Estèphe that is going to need quite a bit of time to find its center. Today, it is tightly wound, but all the energy is there. Lush and extravagantly ripe, the 2018 possesses tremendous depth and plenty of energy to back it all up. Here, too, I found the wine a bit more expressive and giving en primeur. - AG 01/2021

Beck

Bouquet complexe se révélant petit à petit. C'est d'abord l'élevage qui se distingue mais il est rapidement relayé par des notes de baies noires, des nuances florales et une légère touche confite. Caractère crémeux et friand en bouche. Le vin est dense, élégant et parfaitement équilibré. Beaucoup de précision et de finesse dans les tannins. Un Cos d'Estournel sapide, charmant et persistant. 2025- 2048 - YB 2020

Suckling

March 2021 - The richness and beauty of this wine is impressive with blackcurrant, cherry, berry and fresh cloves. The fruit is so pure here. Full-bodied with tannins that are so integrated and refined that you don’t feel them, yet they are there! Very creamy and layered with great length and beauty. It turns to tar and licorice at the finish. Tight now, but the texture is special. Try after 2027.

Dunnuck

An incredible wine from this estate that's as good as anything in the vintage, the 2018 Château Cos D'Estournel checks in as 74% Cabernet Sauvignon, 23% Merlot, 2% Cabernet Franc, and 1% Petit Verdot that was brought up in 50% new French oak. While some 2018s are going to offer pleasure right out of the gate, this isn't one of them, but rather it's a backward, tannic powerhouse of a wine that has flawless balance as well as a level of purity that's off the charts. Thrilling crème de cassis fruit, notes of lead pencil, damp earth, cedarwood, violets, and acacia flowers, full-bodied richness, masses of ultra-fine tannins, and a great, great finish all make for a legendary Saint-Estèphe that will need a good decade of bottle age yet evolve for 50 years or more. If you are tempted to try a bottle in its youth, it needs lots of air. - JD 11/2021
