Description

Bag a bargain - current retail price range - £120.00-228.83 per bottle

Wine Society Notes at time of purchase : "An exceptionally fine wine with incredibly rich, intense and concentrated flavour. Unfortunately also exceptionally expensive!! 2017-2030."

Wine Spectator score 95-100/100 (June2006)
Wine Spectator 98 Points (full review)
"Black in color, with aromas of orange peel, new leather, currant, berry and Christmas pudding. Full-bodied, with layers of velvety tannins and a long, long finish of fruit and spices. The cashmere texture is all there. 2003 plus 2000 equals 2005. Best after 2015. 25,000 cases made. -JS"

Robert Parker 98 Points
"While I am not convinced the 2005 Cos d'Estournel will eclipse the compelling 2003 Cos, it is unquestionably another superb classic from proprietor Michel Reybier and his brilliant winemaker, Jean-Guillaume Prats. Made from an unusually high percentage of Cabernet Sauvignon (78%) and the balance mostly Merlot with a tiny dollop of Cabernet Franc, this superb effort requires plenty of time in the bottle. It boasts an inky/purple color as well as a glorious perfume of licorice, Asian spices, creme de cassis, blackberries, and toasty oak. This full-bodied St.-Estephe is exceptionally powerful, pure, and dense with a layered mid-palate that builds like a skyscraper. While there are massive tannins, they are remarkably velvety and well-integrated in this big, backstrapping effort that should enjoy an unusually long life. Forget it for 8-10 years, and drink it between 2017-2040."

Berry Bros & Rudd review:
"Cos is polished and rich, with a fantastic acidity that will enable it to age majestically. Made with 78% Cabernet Sauvignon, this is a wonderful, dense wine with earthy St Estèphe minerality amidst the incredibly rich fruit. General Manager Jean-Guillaume Prats thinks that 2005 might be as good as their legendary 2003 - but we definitely thought it was better. This fantastic wine is the first serious candidate for wine of the vintage."
Berry Bros & Rudd score: 19/20

Decanter review:
"Firm and confident with realms of ripe fruit cloaked in classy toasted oak. Aburst of ripe fruit on entry. Exciting." (4/5 Stars - Medoc 2005 - Decanter Award Winner - July 08)

Jancis Robinson score 17.5/20
