Château Cos d'EstournelSaint-Estèphe 2005
About this product
One of the 'super seconds' Cos d'Estournel is planted to 60% Cabernet and 40% Merlot. The vineyard are densely planted, 8000 to 10000 vines per hectare with the Cabernet on the gravel soils on the southern slopes, the Merlot on eastern slopes over limestone. When young the wines have great structure and intensity of explosive fruit. They mature admirably with smoothness and aromatic complexity.

Full bodied red wines have a noticeably textural mouthfeel with bold, complex flavours. Often deeply coloured.
Dry wines have no trace of sweetness at all.

The 2005 Cos d’Estournel is another great success from this property, which is owned by Michel Reybier. A superstar of St. Estèphe in this vintage, this wine has a dense ruby/purple color, beautiful, sweet cassis and blackcurrant fruit, some floral notes, spice and a touch of oak in a full-bodied, layered, impressive multi-dimensional style. The tannins are surprisingly sweet and well-integrated, as is the acidity, alcohol and wood. This is a beauty and certainly the top wine of St. Estèphe. Drink it over the next 25+ years.
