Yves Beck 97 points: "64% Cabernet Sauvignon, 30% Merlot, 4% Cabernet Franc, 2% Petit Verdot Cos 2021 se révèle en chuchotant, en se manifestant de manière pondérée mais plurielle ! Il fait d’une pierre deux coups en annonçant subtilité et profondeur. Le boisé fait office de transporteur aromatique. Même s’il est dominant, il ne barre pas la route à des éléments tels que graphite, baies noires et iris. En bouche le vin cumule le côté crémeux et la puissance. Les tannins sont veloutés tout en étant denses tandis que la structure acide agit en coulisse. Un Cos qui se profile lentement à l’image de ses tannins qui apparaissent vers le milieu de bouche et qui tirent l’ensemble gustatif avec eux, tout en créant une symbiose convaincante avec l’acidité. Il demande à s’épanouir, mais ce qu’il présente aujourd’hui est déjà très convaincant !" Drinking Window 2027 - 2057, Reviewed on 30.11.23 by Yves Beck

The Wine Cellar Insider 96 points: "Earthy, spicy, black raspberries, blackberries, flowers, and black currants create the nose and the core of its medium/full-bodied palate. Soft, silky, fresh and polished, there is a nice sweetness and refined edge to the fruit on the palate, finishing with layers of vibrant, peppery, tea-stained, black currants with a gentle hint of herbs on the backend. The wine was made from blending 64% Cabernet Sauvignon, 30% Merlot, 1% Petit Verdot and 1% Cabernet Franc,13% alcohol, pH of 3.7. The yields were 35 hectoliters per hectare. The harvest took place September 23 to October 7. The Grand Vin was produced from 50% of the harvest. The wine is going to approachable early in its life.

The Wine Cellar Insider 96 points: "Dried flowers, smoke, licorice, Indian spices, black cherries, plums , chocolate, and a hint of blue fruit shows up with ease in the perfume. The palate is the wine shines. Here, you find layers of supple, creamy ripe, black and red fruits, polished textures, creamy, soft tannins and a finish that builds and lingers with its waves if fruit and subtle, smoked herb note that comes in at the end of the finish.

Inside Bordeaux 96 points: "This vintage, which can be overly straight and austere, benefits from the house style of Cos, where they are happy to add a twist of gourmet glamour, and I am seriously impressed with this wine. It showcases the successful sides of a cool vintage in spades, with bitter black chocolate, cool blue fruits, lemongrass and turmeric and black pepper spices. 55% new oak. 3.79ph. 53% of overall production is for the 1st wine, the rest in Pagodes. Easily one of the wines of the vintage." Drinking Window 2028 - 2042, Reviewed on 07.04.22 by Jane Anson
Decanter 96 points: "This stands out for its structure, subtle power, balance and finesse. Perfumed and softly sweet on the nose, ripe and concentrated, glorious and inviting. Creamy and chalky at the same time, lovely texture and density with bright and concentrated strawberry and red cherry fruit. Crisp, sweet, salty and sour, a lovely combination of flavours and textures with great drive and an undercurrent of minerality and salty wet stone finish – real St-Estèphe signature."

The Wine Independent 95+ points: "A blend of 64% Cabernet Sauvignon, 30% Merlot, 4% Cabernet Franc, and 2% Petit Verdot, the 2021 Cos d’Estounel has a deep purple-black color. It hits the ground running with expressive notes of black cherries, fresh blackcurrants, and mulberries, leading to hints of violets, crushed rocks, black olives, and forest floor. Light-bodied and tightly wound in the mouth, the palate features vibrant black berry and floral layers, with a fine-grained texture and bright acidity, finishing long and minerally."

Vinous Antonio Galloni 94-96 points: "The 2021 Cos d'Estournel is a wine of real breadth and volume. It is also quite a departure from recent vintages in that strong Cabernet aromatics are very much front and center. Cedar, tobacco, dried herbs, menthol and licorice lend notable complexity to the bouquet. I expect the 2021 will need time to be at its best. Cos is usually much more alluring in its youth than the reticent but hugely promising 2021." Drinking Window 2031 - 2051, Reviewed on 10.05.22 by Antonio Galloni

James Suckling 95 points: "Floral aromas with violets, lavender and currants. Lead pencil, too. Medium-bodied, with fine tannins that caress and please. Elegant and sophisticated. Linear line of tannins running through this. Needs two or three years to soften. Hold for now." , Reviewed on 16.12.23 by James Suckling
Decanter 95 points: "Super rich dark berries on the nose, fragrant and seductive, this draws you in both from the nose and colour with a deep, inky purple and pink tone. Charming and lively, this is sophisticated with a minty, fresh, high-toned fruit profile that is poised and focussed, delivering each element in a straight line right now. Not so expansive but layered vertically with tobacco, coffee, dark chocolate and vanilla notes alongside bramble fruits. It’s tightly packaged but so refined, elegant and classy. One to watch for sure. 2% Petit Verdot completes the blend." Drinking Window 2027 - 2050, Reviewed on 31.03.22 by Decanter
