Cos d'Estournel 2009

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 steps, it 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 colored, the 2009 Cos d'Estournel features a myriad of wonderfully intense notes, including blackcurrant pastilles, redcurrant jelly, kirsch and blueberry compote with hints of rose hip tea, sautéed herbs, underbrush, pencil shavings and Indian spices. Full-bodied, rich and opulently fruited in the mouth, it has beautifully plush tannins and fantastic freshness, finishing very long and very spicy. Drinking window: 2020 - 2065. Lisa Perrotti-Brown.

    Le 2009 de Cos se distingue par sa subtilité et son aptitude à aussi bien plébisciter un millésime chaleureux. Que de détails, de finesse, de pluralité avec moult nuances. Ainsi, il révèle des notes iodées, du cèdre, de la graphite et des baies noires. C’est en bouche que le vin se distingue particulièrement. La densité présente, les tannins suaves aux grains très fins et la puissance si sereine, imposante, élégante en font une des plus grandes réussites du millésime. Il est d’une fraîcheur déconcertante, d’une grandeur éblouissante et d’une longueur infinie. Maintenant – 2059

    Couleur sombre, intense et légèrement évoluée. Nez intense, au fruité un tantinet surmûr qui évoque le merlot sur graves. Moelleux à l’attaque, suave au développement, parfumé et agréable, même si sa fin de bouche est un brin ferme, le vin persiste sur des notes d’encre et de réglisse. Bonne longueur. Juin 2019.

    Decanter
    Intense, pureed damson fruit aromas remind me of its impact at En primeur, although then it was a little overblown. The terroir is starting to come through now, but the fruit still feels a touch overripe and overly concentrated, not enabling the juiciness that the clay soils of St-Estèphe should be highlighting. It's still extremely young with a great life ahead of it, so this is one to put away for a while longer and give that terroir more of a chance to exert itself over the vintage character. Drinking window: 2018 - 2038. Jane Anson. January 2019.

    Barrel sample. A hugely rich wine, where the tannins seem initially lost in the overwhelming fruit. It has power and concentration, showing its alcohol a little. There is great intensity, but an edge of Portiness from the super-rich fruit. 94-96. Roger Voss.

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.
