...A blend of 76% Cabernet Sauvignon, 23% Merlot and 1% Cabernet Franc ... this fabulous Saint Estèphe will be matured in 60% new oak ... a more classically styled Cos d'Estournel that is completely different than say, the 2009... bears more stylistic similarities to its neighbor Montrose. It is extremely detailed with blackberry and a touch of boysenberry, the fruit almost 'creeping up' on you by stealth and then underneath, an undertow of minerals, wet limestone and even flint ... exquisite balance, perhaps the most precise and detailed Cos d'Estournel that I have encountered ... It segues into a Pauillac-like second-half with veins of graphite strafing the black fruit ... palpable energy and tension allied with an effortless nature. The persistence, the reverberation in the mouth is quite magnificent ... It really is a brilliant Cos d'Estournel that oozes class and sophistication, moreover, a wine that is going to give serious amounts of drinking pleasure over a very long period of time. Boom?and Cos drops the mic ... Drink Date: 2026-2065. Score - 98-100. (Neal Martin, robertparker.com)
