CRITIC REVIEWS
Steven Spurrier
Superb colour, big black fruits, has the opulent smoothness of Cos with freshness and very classy length.
Jeb Dunnuck
The 2012 from Cos dEstournel is a streamlined, elegant version of this cuvée that offers first rate notes of crème de cassis, graphite, smoked herbs and saddle leather, with hints of oak pushed into the background. Supple, medium to full-bodied and charming, yet with enough tannin to warrant short term cellaring, give bottles 5-6 years in the cellaring and enjoy over the following two decades.
