Perfume drifts from the glass in the 2015 Château Cos d’Estournel, all dark berries, currant and plum wrapped in gentle spice, cedar and a touch of tobacco, before a flood of concentrated yet finely etched fruit glides across the palate. The structure is firm but satin-smooth, with vivid acidity and polished tannins carrying a long, resonant finish that shows why this warm-vintage Cos is so highly regarded.

Château Cos d’Estournel is the powerful, ageworthy grand vin of this celebrated Saint‑Estèphe second growth, typically a Cabernet Sauvignon–Merlot–based blend from old vines on deep gravel and clay-limestone slopes just north of Lafite. Known for its dark, concentrated fruit, firm tannic structure and exotic, spicy complexity, it marries Médoc classicism with a particularly opulent, almost oriental character that reflects both its great terroir and the estate’s ambitious, gravity‑flow winemaking.
