About This Wine
Pause everything because 2016 Château Cos d'Estournel is a true showstopper. The blend of 76 cabernet sauvignon, 23 merlot, and 1 cabernet franc displays seductive aromas, unbridled energy, and depth that rivals the Mariana Trench. The above-average amount of merlot contributes to impeccable fruity purity and a gorgeous structure that promises to reward investors for four to five decades. The secret to success lies in Château Cos d'Estournel’s name. Cos translates to a “hill of pebbles,” a reference to the well-draining soils responsible for its ultra-ripe fruit. At the core, this red features blackberries, blueberries, cassis, graphite, lavender, tea, and cherry liqueur with a spice-laden finish that lingers for more than a minute. Lisa Perrotti-Brown was one of three critics to give 2016 Château Cos d'Estournel a perfect score. To end her review, she wrote simply, “Just. Magic.” The Final Sip: Not only is 2016 Château Cos d'Estournel one of the best wines of the vintage, but it’s also distinct with more merlot than other Bordeaux red blends.
