Tasting Notes
Robert Parker 98
The prodigious, fantastic 2003 Cos d'Estournel is a candidate for wine of the vintage. A blend of 68% Cabernet Sauvignon (unusually high for this chateau), 30% Merlot, and 2% Cabernet Franc, 17,500 cases were produced from low yields. An inky/blue/purple color is accompanied by a compelling perfume of black fruits, subtle smoke, pain grille, incense, and flowers. With extraordinary richness, full body, and remarkable freshness, elegance, and persistence, this is one of the finest wines ever made by this estate. The good news is that it will be drinkable at a young age yet evolve for three decades or more. Kudos to winemaker Jean-Guillaume Prats and owner Michel Reybier.
Steve Tanzer's International Wine Cellar 94
"Red-ruby. Knockout nose combines currant, espresso, earth and exotic spices. Wonderfully round and sweet, with outstanding volume and density. A spherical, seamless wine that saturates the entire palate. The huge but lush tannins coat the teeth. This is accessible now but has the sheer material for long aging."
Neil Martin, Wine Journal, eRobert Parker 96
Tasted blind at Farr Vintner?s Left Bank tasting. This is very lifted on the nose: blackberry, melted tar, sandalwood and a touch of autumn leaves. Very fine delineation married with power. The palate is full-bodied, harmonious with silky smooth tannins, fresh and surfeit with vigour and brio towards the saturated finish. Great backbone and focus here, persistent and compelling. Tasted October 2010.
