Reviews

James Suckling 98

If you want to know what St.-Estephe smells like, this is it. Aromas of spices, black truffles, forest floor, dried strawberries and tar. It's full-bodied yet pinpointed on the palate with fabulous density and richness. It's opulent but in a reserved and checked way. This needs at least five or six years to come around, but it's already fantastic. What harmony and structure. Try in 2022 if you can keep your hands off it!

Wine Advocate 94

The 2014 Cos d'Estournel is destined to turn into a very lovely Saint Estephe. This bottle was actually tasted over a period of a few hours. The word "cool" is one that reappeared in my vernacular now that the wine is in bottle. The estate is known for producing a more luxuriant and extravagant bouquet compared to its Saint Estephe peers, yet this vintage is streamlined (to re-appropriate my original descriptor). It's unashamedly focused and delineated. It delivers intense blackberry and bilberry scents, again with a touch of iris. The palate is beautifully balanced with not a single hair out of place. The acidity is well judged and I noticed that after two or three hours, there was a faint vein of graphite that lends it a Pauillac-like personality, no surprise given that it lies just across the border. It will require several years in bottle for the tannins to mellow, but the result will be a very attractive, quite correct, fresh and precise Cos d'Estournel that will bestow two or three decades of drinking enjoyment.

Wine Spectator 94

Intense, with a roiling core of luscious loganberry, blackberry and black currant fruit. Singed spice, apple wood and black tea accents emerge steadily on the finish. Has a rare combination of density and precision. Will cruise in the cellar.

Vintage

The wine reveals a nice density and an aromatic richness that give opulence, with incomparable touch and heat. The Cabernet Sauvignon is fully expressed on the terroir of Cos d’Estournel. The power, the energy and the complexity of the wines will undoubtedly make them a vintage for the ages, to forget in the cellar for a long time.
