Description

This wine puts on weight and grows in stature every time I go back to it. In fact, from the bottle it was better than ever. A blend of 60% Cabernet Sauvignon, 38% Merlot, and 2% Cabernet Franc, the 2000 Cos d'Estournel suffers only in comparison with its successor, the 2001. Deep bluish purple in color with a reticent but emerging bouquet of cedar, licorice, blueberry, cassis, vanilla, and lead pencil shavings, this medium-bodied, slightly sinewy Cos d'Estournel has relatively high tannin, an excellent mid-palate, and a persistent finish. Purity and classicism are hallmarks of this top-flight wine. Anticipated maturity: 2010-2022.
Score: 92 Robert Parker, Wine Advocate (146), April 2003

No. 2 in Wine Spectator Top 100 Wines of 2003

Score: 96 James Suckling, Wine Spectator, January 2009

Tasted by Wine Partisan on 3/24/2012 & rated 98 points: There is something about St. Estephe... and this is the greatest St. Estephe in the world. Deep, aromatic nose. Black fruit, violet, cedar. Hedonistic and sensual.
Tasted by RayOB on 3/8/2012 & rated 97 points: Bordeaux First Growth Trip; 3/7/2012-3/9/2012 (Bordeaux): Drank at Château Cos d'Estournel
Very complex nose of blackcurrant,vanilla, earth, tar, leather and spice. This is surprisingly approachable for a 2000. The tannins are silky smooth and the length is very long.
