RATINGS

98James Suckling

Super aromas of nutmeg, cloves and dried flowers with plums and blackberries. Subtle yet so complex. Full-bodied, tight and integrated with ultra-fine tannins and a beautiful finish. Lasts for minutes. Very, very Cos. Harmony.

95+ The Wine Advocate

Cherry tart, chocolate mint, baked redcurrants, warm cassis and wild blueberry scents ….Medium to full-bodied, the palate absolutely explodes with vibrant red and black fruit bursts and tons of exotic spice accents,

94Vinous / IWC

Enticing, quite intense blackberry, pencil box and subtle tobacco scents. The medium-bodied palate immediately impresses by its volume and depth, the new oak neatly embroidered with layers of tightly coiled tobacco and graphite

93Jeb Dunnuck

A classic wine from this estate and a terrific effort … classy bouquet of crème de cassis, black raspberries, toasty oak, graphite and damp earth....medium to full-bodied... solid mid-palate depth, fine, polished tannin, and a great finish.

92Wine Spectator

Gently steeped core of currant, plum and black cherry fruit, infused with black tea, singed juniper and smoldering tobacco notes... a gloss of alluring toast adding polish to the finish.

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.
