(13.4% alcohol 85% cabernet sauvignon, 12% merlot and 3% cabernet franc 80% new oak) Good saturated medium ruby. Black cherry, cassis, minerals and spices lifted by a peppery nuance. Full, rich and ripe, with black fruit and mineral flavors given a firm edge by piquant licorice and herbs. Finishes with good breadth and dusty, fine tannins. (Incidentally, the 2007 Les Pagodes de Cos is unusually sweet and mouthfilling for this second wine, with nicely ripe tannins.)

Shows lovely perfume of dried flowers and berry, with a hint of currant. Full and long, with pretty tannins and a long finish. Balanced and pretty. Score range: 88-92 –JS
About 2007 Cos d'Estournel Bordeaux Blend
About the Winery Cos d'Estournel
"Château Cos d'Estournel, acknowledged to be the most outstanding cru of St Estephe, is certainly the most spectacular edifice to grace the commune's vineyards. Surprisingly not a residence but a chais, its oriental facade is adorned with three pagoda turrets, all cast in a soft golden sandstone. Overlooking the border between Pauillac and St Estephe, and the vineyards of Lafite-Rothschild, from the crest of its gravellous slope, this rather fantastic piece of architecture is a fitting monument to its wines...a very strong aristocratic and exotic personality, uplifted by very contemporary wines which can hold up to 40% merlot (very rare in Médoc) and enjoy a tailored ageing in new oak barrels. The result is highly audacious, extremely generous, ripe, long and spicefull.." www.cosestournel.com
About the Wine
"A vintage marked by a great lack of water in summer and by harvesting carried out in ideal conditions.
A very intense colour, hardly developed. A complex bouquet which reveals little; spices, liquorice, cedar wood. The structure of delicate tannins is enormous, the flesh is full and rich. Very long in the mouth. A virile wine, a wine with a future which can develop in the cellar over many long years, but which may, even so, be drunk as from today.
68% Cabernet Sauvignon
30% Merlot
2% Cabernet Franc
90% New oak barrels"
