Rating: 93/100 Robert Parker, 17/20 Jancis Robinson MW
When to drink: 2020-2035 (Wine Advocate)
Tasting: Refined and focused, displaying aromas of blackcurrant, dark cherry and violets, complemented by notes of spice, incense and Asian tea leaves. The palate shows remarkable precision with silky tannins, offering layers of cassis, tobacco and exotic spices, leading to a long, mineral-driven finish typical of great Saint-Estèphe terroir.
Pairing: Exceptional with Sashi Beef ribeye or Westholme Wagyu, whose marbling harmonizes beautifully with the wine's structure. Also pairs wonderfully with Lumina Lamb or Cinco Jotas Presa. For cheese, try with Fort Saint Antoine Comté. The château recommends decanting for 1-2 hours before serving.
Producer: The majestic Château Cos d'Estournel, with its ornate oriental-influenced architecture and carved wooden pagoda doors, is one of Bordeaux's most distinctive estates. Known as the 'Maharaja of Saint-Estèphe', the château pioneered gravity-flow winemaking with its innovative multi-level cellars. The 91-hectare vineyard, positioned on a gravelly ridge adjacent to Château Lafite, consistently produces wines of remarkable power and finesse.
Vintage: 2014 began challenging with a cool, damp summer, but September and October brought perfect conditions with warm days and cool nights. This extended Indian summer allowed for optimal ripening, particularly beneficial for Cabernet Sauvignon. The result is a classic Cos showing admirable restraint and precision.
