Deep garnet-purple colored, the 2017 Cos d'Estournel needs a little coaxing to unfurl, revealing beautiful expressions of preserved plums, boysenberries, blackcurrant pastilles and wild blueberries with hints of Indian spices, menthol, lilacs and mossy tree bark plus a compelling suggestion of iron ore.

Description
Cos is in Saint Estephe but borders Pauillac and, in particular, the vineyards of Chateau Lafite. In some vintages the quality level is not far from that of the first Growths. The stunning new winery is the most modern and sophisticated in all of Bordeaux, with the world's only 100% gravity cellar - no pumps used at all.
This wine reveals beautiful expressions of preserved plums, boysenberries, blackcurrant pastilles and wild blueberries with hints of spices, menthol, lilacs and mossy tree bark. Medium to full-bodied with firm, grainy tannins and well-knit freshness, finishing long and fragrant.
Scores and Awards 98/100 – Robert Parker, Wine Advocate.
