James Suckling: 98 Points
"Super aromas of nutmeg cloves and dried flowers with plums and blackberries. Subtle yet so complex. Full-bodied tight and integrated with ultra-fine tannins and a beautiful finish. Lasts for minutes. Very very Cos. Harmony. Texturally marvellous. Drink in 2024."
Wine Enthusiast: 95-97 Points
"Ripe dusty tannins give a dry edge to the full rich fruits. It has a structure that comes out of old Cabernet vines that form the core of this wine. Dark full and with considerable concentration the wine is dense and will need many years to develop."
Wine Advocate: 95+ Points
Composed of 76% Cabernet Sauvignon 23.5% Merlot and 1.5% Cabernet Franc the deep garnet-purple colored 2015 Cos d'Estournel is muted at this very young stage. The nose offers fleeting glimpses at provocative cherry tart chocolate mint baked redcurrants warm cassis and wild blueberry scents plus suggestions of lilacs cinnamon stick and Indian spices. Medium to full-bodied the palate absolutely explodes with vibrant red and black fruit bursts and tons of exotic spice accents framed by super ripe super firm tannins and a lovely line of freshness finishing very long.

Easily one of the most successful wine in Saint Estèphe in 2015 Cos d'Estournel is just gorgeous. Elements of exoticism appear on the bouquet followed by generous black cherry smoke leather licorice menthol and mocha. Naturally it will be many years before the 2015 is ready to offer a truly complete drinking experience but it is superb even in the early going. The 2015 was bottled in July 2017.

This has a gently steeped core of currant plum and black cherry fruit infused with black tea singed juniper and smoldering tobacco notes. The vintage's overt austerity is less evident here with a gloss of alluring toast adding polish to the finish. A strong effort. Best from 2020 through 2032. 15000 cases made. ?JM
