2023 Cos d'Estournel, St Estèphe, Bordeaux

Description

Blend: 65% Cabernet Sauvignon; 33% Merlot; 1% Cabernet Franc; 1% Petit Verdot.

This is a graceful, finely-sculpted wine this year. The decision to use only whole berries (destemmed but not crushed) was to lower the alcohol. The wine is a very refreshing 12.9%, aided by the higher yield of 45 hl/ha. This is refined and discreet. The château’s hallmark notes of plum and mocha join a crunchy graphite texture to the palate and finish. Lovely fruit rises to the top and this may well be accessible fairly early, although it has plenty of legs for the longer run.

Drink 2030 - 2050

Our score: 17.5/20

About this wine

Saint-Estèphe

Saint-Estèphe

Saint-Estèphe is the northernmost of the most important communes of the Médoc, bordering Pauillac on its southernmost border, with only a gully and stream separating it from Ch. Lafite Rothschild. The wines can appear austere in youth, but the best typically display good depth of colour, pronounced acidity and tannins in youth, and are exceptionally long-lived. At their best, they are the equal of almost any Bordeaux.
