RATINGS

94James Suckling

...very deep and intense fruit character, yet rich tannins to back it all up. Full-bodied, layered and powerful.

93Wine Enthusiast

Dense and full of dark fruits...blackberry fruits and rich, generous tannins, the wine has weight and concentration. The freshness at the end is so typical of the vintage.

93Jeb Dunnuck

...incense, graphite, and hints of flowers...medium to full-bodied, rounded, beautifully textured effort...

91Wine Spectator

This has good energy, with a light briar note through the mix of raspberry, plum and cherry paste flavors. Subtle chalk and iron streaks add texture and cut on the finish.

91Vinous / IWC

Pliant and inviting, yet also medium in body... Grilled herb, tobacco, menthol, chocolate, licorice and black cherry are all seamless in this silky, open-knit second wine from Cos d'Estournel.

16.5Jancis Robinson

Sweet and round on the nose. Good attack with tea-leaf flavour. Dry finish. Very appetising and well mannered without being at all flashy. Builds pretty well on the finish. Admirably persistent.

REGION

France, Bordeaux, St.-Estephe

Saint-Estèphe is in the northern Médoc, on the left bank of the Gironde River. Although it has no First Growth estates, its five Second, Third, Fourth and Fifth Growth châteaux are notable, and, in recent decades, have become favorites with reviewers and consumers. Some reviewers also note that the appellation is today making excellent Cru Bourgeois wines, which frequently offer good value. There are 3,404 acres of vineyards and a variety of soil types, from gravelly soil to soil with significant sand or clay. The two Second Growth Châteaux in St.-Estephe are Cos d’Estournel and Montrose. The Third Growth Calon-Ségur is widely admired. The principal grapes grown are Cabernet Sauvignon and Merlot, with small amounts of Cabernet Franc and Petit Verdot.
