Lisa Perrotti Brown bewertet den Chateau Cos d Estournel 2018 Saint Estephe wie folgt:

The 2018 Cos d'Estournel is composed of 74% Cabernet Sauvignon. 23% Merlot. 2% Petit Verdot and 1% Cabernet Franc and has 14.59% alcohol. Aging in 50% new barriques. it has a deep purple-black color and drifts effortlessly. gracefully. seductively out of the glass with slowly unfurling notions of blackcurrant cordial. wild blueberries. chocolate-covered cherries and plum pudding with touches of violets. licorice. wild roses and yeast extract plus a waft of loose tobacco. The full-bodied palate is built like a brick house with a solid frame of super firm. super ripe tannins and seamless freshness to back up the vibrant. crunchy. oh-so-muscular fruit. finishing long with loads of mineral layers. Amazing structure will keep this beauty for at least half a century and probably a full one!

 

James Suckling bewertet den Chateau Cos d Estournel 2018 Saint Estephe wie folgt:
The beautiful integration of ripe fruit and ripe tannins gives the wine a layered and agile mouthfeel. Soft and gorgeous with silky tannins that really kick in at the finish and carry the wine for a long time.

 

Antonio Galloni bewertet den Chateau Cos d Estournel 2018 Saint Estephe wie folgt:
A regal. soaring Saint-Estèphe. the 2018 Cos d'Estournel is also clearly one of the wines of the vintage. On the palate. the 2018 is dark and sumptuous. with striking aromatic presence and silky tannins that wrap around a rich core of exotic fruit. Black cherry. savory herbs. leather. spice and menthol build in the glass in a wine that is both aromatically intense and richly textured. The 2018 has been nothing short of breathtaking on the two occasions I have tasted it so far. Don't miss it und vergibt ihm 97-100 Punkte.

The 2019 Cos d'Estournel has turned out brilliantly, exhibiting aromas of minty cassis, sweet wild berries and wild plums mingled with hints of spices, loamy soil and potpourri. Full-bodied, broad and enveloping, it's polished and seamless, its ample chassis of fine, velvety tannin entirely concealed in its deep core of succulent, crunchy fruit. Beautifully integrated at this early stage, the last decade has witnessed a number of changes at this address, including a trend toward less aggressively late picking, cooler fermentations and élevage with fewer rackings and more moderate percentages of less heavily toasted new oak: in 2019, the results speak for themselves.

 

James Suckling über den Chateau Cos d Estournel 2019 Saint Estephe:

7 Feb, 2022 – This is so aromatic with blackcurrants, black berries and raspberries. Pure fruit, together with coffee and nutmeg. Really fresh and clean with bright spices. Full-bodied, yet reserved and tight with fantastic structure. So long. This is a great Cos for the cellar. A real benchmark for the true character. Needs at least five or six years to open and come around. Try after 2029.

 

Für den Wine Spectator verköstigte James Molesworth denChateau Cos d Estournel 2019 Saint Estephe:

Dark and winey, featuring black currant, fig and blackberry preserve flavors laced with a smoldering hint of cast iron, plus notes of anise, apple wood, sweet bay leaf and warm earth. The finish offers a long sanguine thread that stitches it all up. Gorgeous. Cabernet Sauvignon and Merlot. Best from 2024 through 2040. 15,000 cases made, 3,000 cases imported.

James Suckling bewertet den Chateau Gloria 2017 Saint Julien im Januar 2020:
Quite the bottle here! Spices. such as nutmeg and cinnamon. as well as dried meat and plums with cedar and sandalwood. Full body. Deep and dense in the center palate and a long. long finish. Shows finesse and tightness. Very polished tannins. Long and ethereal. Try after 2023
 

Lisa Perrotti Brown bewertet den Chateau Gloria 2017 Saint Julien im März 2020:

Composed of 66% Cabernet Sauvignon. 32% Merlot. 1% Petit Verdot and 1% Cabernet Franc. yields for the grand vin in 2017 were 43 hectoliters per hectare. and it was aged in 60% new oak. It came in at an alcohol of 13% and an IPT of 68. Deep garnet-purple colored. the 2017 Cos d'Estournel needs a little coaxing to unfurl. revealing beautiful expressions of preserved plums. boysenberries. blackcurrant pastilles and wild blueberries with hints of Indian spices. menthol. lilacs and mossy tree bark plus a compelling suggestion of iron ore. Medium to full-bodied. the palate has a solid backbone of firm. grainy tannins and well-knit freshness supporting the tightly wound blue and black fruits layers. finishing long and fragrant. This wine will need a good 5-7 years in bottle before it begins to blossom and should go on for at least another 40 years. I expect this wine to be a blockbuster of a head-turner when I come back and taste it at 10 years of age!
 

Antonio Galloni von Vinous bewertet im März 2020 wie folgt:

A bold. dramatic wine. the 2017 Cos d'Estournel is seriously impressive today. Time in barrel has done wonders for the 2017. a wine that has really gained depth in élevage. Black cherry. chocolate. spice. new leather. licorice. smoke and incense infuse the 2017 with tons of character. with the 60% new oak very well judged. In 2017. Cos has a level of textural resonance that eludes many Saint-Estèphes. The blend is 66% Cabernet Sauvignon. 32% Merlot. 1% Petit Verdot and 1% Cabernet Franc.
 

Neal Martin von Vinous bewertet im Februar 2020 wie folgt:

The 2017 Cos d’Estournel showed extremely well from barrel and likewise in bottle. continuing this estate’s strong run of form since the 2014 vintage. You instantaneously fall in love with the nose that bursts forth with blackberry. raspberry coulis. crushed stone. iodine and pressed iris petal. The 60% new oak is beautifully integrated. Quintessentially Cos d’Estournel. The palate is medium-bodied with supple black fruit laced with black truffle and graphite. quite Pauillac-like in style. which is no surprise given its location. This is very focused and perhaps understated compared to the 2016. yet its freshness and vivacity are undeniable. "Streamlined. cool and linear" I wrote at en primeur... I have no reason to alter that sentiment.


 

James Suckling über den Les Pagodes de Cos 2019 Zweitwein Cos d Estournel:

7 Feb, 2022 – This is very spicy and linear with fine tannins that run the length of the wine. It’s medium-bodied with freshness and lovely length. Very classic in style. Closed at the end. Drink after 2025.

 

Antonio Galloni (Vinous) bewertet den Les Pagodes de Cos 2019 Zweitwein Cos d Estournel:

The 2019 Les Pagodes de Cos is powerful and explosive, with real energy that builds over time. Black cherry, menthol, licorice, chocolate and dried herbs are all kicked up. In 2019, the Pagodes offers striking power, breadth and resonance. It's a gorgeous wine in every way.

 

Und Neal Martin (Vinous) zum Les Pagodes de Cos 2019 Zweitwein Cos d Estournel:

The 2019 Les Pagodes de Cos has a vivacious bouquet featuring a mélange of blackberry and raspberry fruit that needs less time to settle in the glass compared to its primeur showing, and a light marine tang. The palate is beautifully balanced with superb salinity, quite Pauillac-like (still), with graphite/pencil lead toward the poised, persistent finish. This is an excellent Les Pagodes that is well worth a place in your cellar.

 

Für den Wine Spectator verköstigte James Molesworth denLes Pagodes de Cos 2019 Zweitwein Cos d Estournel:

A floral, piercing style, with lilac, red currant, rooibos tea and iron notes allied as they race through the fresh finish. Shows lovely precision, in an unadorned style. Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot, Cabernet Franc and Petit Verdot. Drink now through 2032. 14,000 cases made, 2,100 cases imported.

The harvest took place September 10–24 with a yield of 39 hectoliters per hectare. The alcohol weighs in at 13.28% with a pH of 3.85 and an IPT (total phenolic index) of 68.

Medium-bodied, the palate is packed with crunchy black fruit flavors and dried herbs accents, supported by bags of freshness and well-managed, grainy tannins, finishing with great length and a lively skip in its step.

 

James Suckling schreibt zum Les Pagodes de Cos 2020 Zweitwein Cos d Estournel Folgendes:

This is a racy Pagodes with beautiful fruit and tannins that leave a nice, persistent finish. Medium to full body. Savory finish. Tight and clean.

 

Das meint die Vinous-Mannschaft um Antonio Galloni zum Chateau Cos d Estournel:

The 2020 Les Pagodes de Cos has a well-defined, almost Graves-like bouquet of a mélange of red and black fruit: punnets of freshly picked strawberries and raspberried, and blackberries following later. The palate is medium-bodied with very supple tannins. This Les Pagodes has a smooth veneer, just a faint wisp of dark chocolate and espresso infusing the predominantly red fruit. A second wine that will probably drink well after one or two years in bottle.

The alcohol weighs in at 13.46% with a pH of 3.9 and an IPT (total phenolic index) of 80. It is being aged in French oak barrels, 55% new.Deep purple-black in color, it pops with explosive scents of ripe red and black currants, black cherry preserves and black raspberries, followed by sparks of violets, wild sage, pencil lead and clove oil, with emerging hints of iron ore and damp soil. The medium-bodied palate has amazing elegance and grace contrasted by jaw-dropping energy, featuring a firm frame of finely grained tannins and just enough freshness, finishing with a whole firework display of mineral nuances. I love the way this Cos d'Estournel shimmies and shines—a unique vintage signature expressed so beautifully at this estate!

 

James Suckling schreibt zum Chateau Cos d Estournel 2020 Saint Estephe Folgendes:

This is a very refined, polished Cos with superb finesse and length. Medium-to full-bodied, very fine and persistent. Really long with beautiful tannins. Rich, but fresh and linear. Yet, the alcohol is around 13.5%.

 

Das meint die Vinous-Mannschaft um Antonio Galloni zum Chateau Cos d Estournel:

The 2020 Cos d’Estournel is a very different proposition to the Les Pagodes, more so than in other years. Much more intense on the nose of intense black fruit, it is beautifully defined, with enticing scents of blackberry, Dorset plum and topnotes of blueberry and briar. After 30 minutes in the glass, it develops more Saint-Estèphe-like traits: freshly tilled soil, cigar box and touches of warm gravel. There is an openness to these inviting aromatics. The palate is medium-bodied with fine tannins (so different from the "iron girders" of yore). There is freshness and a sense of light in this Cos d’Estournel, though the backbone remains in situ on the cedar and mint finish (a nod to neighboring Pauillac, perhaps), then a lingering marine/seaweed note on the aftertaste. This is a finely crafted, very succinct Cos d’Estournel that may well be hiding something up its sleeve for after bottling, and I suspect it will gain more spine during its barrel aging.
