Chateau Cos d'Estournel Saint Estephe 2015 (750ml)
Chateau Cos d'Estournel Saint Estephe 2015 (750ml)
Lush blackberry, ripe blackcurrant and dark plum unfold alongside notes of violet, cedar, dark chocolate and warming spice. Rich and concentrated, the palate delivers layers of dark fruit supported by beautifully integrated tannins, fresh acidity and a velvety texture. Hints of tobacco, graphite and subtle oak add complexity, leading to a long, elegant finish.
A Second Growth estate and one of Saint-Estèphe's most celebrated producers, Château Cos d'Estournel is known for combining power with remarkable finesse. The 2015 vintage captures this balance beautifully, offering generous fruit, impressive depth and a refined structure. Already expressive, it has the concentration and ageing potential to develop further complexity over time.

Rich fruit that is full of that classic exotic Cos spice, yet more restrained than in the past with a slatey, graphite base. Beautifully put together; an exciting wine that will grow in complexity and flavour.

Super aromas of nutmeg, cloves and dried flowers with plums and blackberries. Subtle yet so complex. Full-bodied, tight and integrated with ultra-fine tannins and a beautiful finish. Lasts for minutes. Very, very Cos. Harmony. Texturally marvellous. Drink in 2024.

Easily one of the most successful wines in Saint-Estèphe in 2015, Cos d'Estournel is just gorgeous. Elements of exoticism appear on the bouquet, followed by generous black cherry, smoke, leather, licorice, menthol and mocha. Naturally, it will be many years before the 2015 is ready to offer a truly complete drinking experience, but it is superb even in its early stages. The 2015 was bottled in July 2017.

This has a gently steeped core of currant, plum and black cherry fruit, infused with black tea, singed juniper and smoldering tobacco notes. The vintage's overt austerity is less evident here, with a gloss of alluring toast adding polish to the finish. A strong effort. Best from 2020 through 2032. 15,000 cases made.

The 2015 Cos D'Estournel is a classic wine from this estate and a terrific effort from the northern Médoc. Compared by the estate to both 2007 and 2004 and representing only 39% of the total production, it offers a fresh, classy bouquet of crème de cassis, black raspberries, toasty oak, graphite, and damp earth. Made from 75% Cabernet Sauvignon, 23% Merlot, and the rest Cabernet Franc, this medium- to full-bodied 2015 has solid mid-palate depth, fine, polished tannins, and a great finish. It’s going to improve with short-term cellaring and keep for two decades.
