Product Highlights
It opens with notes of black tea and black pepper before liberating intense aromas of red berries, blackberry and black fig. Subtle mineral notes balance an incredible concentration, resulting in an exceptionally harmonious wine. Noble and remarkably long, Cos d’Estournel 2021 is a classic, particularly refined expression of our singular terroir that is certain to age very well.

Expert Reviews
The 2021 Cos d'Estournel is one of the denser, more muscular wines of the vintage, wafting from the glass with aromas of dark berries, cassis, charcoal, sweet cigar wrapper and subtle hints of smoked meats, framed by a touch of toasty new oak. Medium to full-bodied, ample and fleshy, it's rich and quite concentrated for the vintage, with a chassis of sweet, generously extracted tannin and a long, lusty finish.

Floral aromas with violets, lavender and currants. Lead pencil, too. Medium-bodied, with fine tannins that caress and please. Elegant and sophisticated. Linear line of tannins running through this. Needs two or three years to soften. Hold for now.
