Description
Chateau Cos d'Estournel 2003St. Estephe
4lwasl
Bottle (12)
Property of a New York gentleman. All wines purchased on release and stored in an underground professional facility with strict temperature and humidity controls.
“The 2003 Cos d'Estournel is a blend of 68% Cabernet Sauvignon, 30% Merlot and 2% Cabernet Franc. It has a deep garnet-brick color and quite an herbal nose with notions of dried Mediterranean herbs and roasted meats over a core of crème de cassis, stewed plums and unsmoked cigars plus a touch of new leather. Full, rich, concentrated and decadent in the mouth, the palate, though medium-bodied, packs a wallop of fruit with plenty of earthy/savory accents and an herbal lift to the finish.” (93 pts. Lisa Perrotti-Brown, Wine Advocate, Nov. 2018)
"The prodigious, fantastic 2003 Cos d’Estournel is a candidate for 'wine of the vintage.' An inky/blue/purple color is accompanied by a compelling perfume of black fruits, subtle smoke, pain grille, incense, and flowers. With extraordinary richness, full body, and remarkable freshness, elegance, and persistence, this is one of the finest wines ever made by this estate. The good news is that it will be drinkable at a young age yet evolve for three decades or more." (98 pts. Robert Parker, Wine Advocate, April 2006)
“The 2003 Cos d'Estournel was showing wonderfully when I last tasted it at the vertical in 2018, yet five years on, I wonder whether that point in time represented its apex? Here, it has a concentrated bouquet with mulberry, stewed plums, touches of licorice and leather, slowly moving into its secondary stage. The palate is medium-bodied and has a menthol-infused entry with medicinal, Mediterranean-infused notes I did not observe before. Bold and powerful, but at 20 years of age, for the first time, I wonder whether it is losing some of its freshness and terroir expression.” (93 pts. Neal Martin, Vinous, Aug. 2023)
