Cos d'Estournel 2010

Red wine | 2nd Cru Classé, Saint-Estèphe AOC

Like a solitary adventurer having sailed across the seas, Cos d'Estournel seems at first secret and intriguing. Then it reveals itself, slowly. Step by step, in small touches, he evokes stories of distant cities, of markets with a thousand secrets, of joyful celebrations in villages with hot stones, of women with voluptuous curves.

    Robert Parker's Wine Advocate
    Deep garnet in color, the 2010 Cos d'Estournel unfurls slowly, measuredly, releasing delicate notes of dried mulberries, stewed plums and blackcurrant pastilles before giving way to notions of potpourri, black cherry compote and chocolate box plus touches of dried sage, tobacco and new leather. Medium to full-bodied, the palate has a rock-solid foundation of very firm, grainy tannins and very lively acidity supporting the remarkable intensity of tightly wound fruit layers, finishing very long and fragrant. Give it another 4-5 years in bottle and this will be stunning! Drink date 2024 - 2060. Lisa Perrotti-Brown

    There's clarity and beauty to this wine as always with pure dark berry, stones and spices. Some clove too. Full body, firm and silky tannins and a long finish. Pure and precise wine with so much class. Try in 2020.

    Dark, intense, beautiful and purple color. Moderately aromatic nose, with pure and fresh fruitiness. Soft on the attack, very tasty in the mid-palate, particularly present, a tad austere, with a “nutty” woodiness, the wine finishes long, complex and with taste, energy and a beautiful tannic envelope.

Cos d'Estournel

In 1791, Louis Gaspard d'Estournel inherited the domains of Cos and Pomys. Going from 14 ha of vines to 45 ha, Cos d'Estournel is recognized by the trade and becomes a Second Cru Classé du Médoc. In 2000, the estate was bought by the entrepreneur Michel Reybier who consolidated the development of the property.
