Cos d'Estournel 2eme Cru Classe

Cos D’Estournel 1961

Cos d'Estournel

Case Format: 1x75cl

Max score: 96.0

The leading estate in Saint-Estèphe, the Deuxième Grand Cru Classé Cos d’Estournel is favoured for creating deliciously full-bodied and highly tannic wines, that once developed, have the ability to rival some of the top estates in the neighbouring Pauillac. The typical Cos d’Estournel blend usually includes Cabernet Sauvignon (c.60%), Merlot (c.38%) and Cabernet Franc (c.2%). Named after its nineteenth-century owner, Louis-Gaspard d’Estournel, who in his lifetime built the incongruous Orientalist estate that stands out within the Bordeaux landscape, Cos D’Estournel is as infamous for its Château, as it is for its characteristically distinct and sensuous first wine.

Neal Martin

A garnet/mahogany core that is again lacking clarity. There is certainly some intensity there with lovely cherry compote, peppermint and violets. Very well-balanced on the palate with fine tannins. Good delineation and freshness (enfin) with a fleshiness engendered by the ripe Merlot. Very smooth, not amazing complex but a lovely Saint Estephe that is at its peak now. A sumptuous, pretty 1961 and a lovely wine. This could last another 10 years. Tasted November 2005.

Robert M. Parker, Jr.

Typically dark and densely pigmented with no sign of browning at the edge, this big, intense, concentrated, still tannic wine has at least a decade of life left in it. The fragrant bouquet offers up scents of cedar, oriental spices, and fruitcake. It is very rich, deep, and long on the palate, with masses of ripe black fruits. An opulent beauty! Anticipated maturity: Now-2000. Last tasted, 1/91.
