Description

A wine of extraordinary intensity and accessibility, the 1995 Cos d'Estournel is a sexier, more hedonistic offering than the muscular, backward 1996. Opulent, with forward aromatics (gobs of black fruits intermixed with toasty pain grillé scents and a boatload of spice), this terrific Cos possesses remarkable intensity, full-body, and layers of jammy fruit nicely framed by the wine's new oak. Because of low acidity and sweet tannins, the 1995 will be difficult to resist young, although it will age for 2-3 decades. 95/100 Robert Parker

Cos d’Estournel is the probably the greatest St-Estèphe. Only Montrose comes close to stealing the title, but Cos is the more classic claret. This great Second Growth is extraordinarily consistent, year after year turning out a wine with a perfectly judged balance between structure and fleshy fruit. The owners have embraced modernity in the best possible way, using technology judiciously to produce a modern wine which is still unmistakably Bordeaux.

Tasted by mduque on 12/23/2011 & rated 95 points: Excellence has a name. Complex with cedar, leather, spices. Fruit is still very much present and the whole has come together perfectly. Tanins, acidity are exactly where they should be. Every sip is a delight with wet stones appearing near the end. Very long finish. It's at its peak or very close but can last quite a bit more in the cellar.

Tasted by yenda on 12/20/2011 & rated 95 points: another excellent example. drinks well now but will last for much longer
