Dense and deep, Cos dEstournel 2017 reveals itself with tastefulness and grace. On the palate its tannins are exquisitesilky and seductiveand it offers the sophistication of truly great wine with the body of an exceptional Cos dEstournel. Its aromas are spicy and wonderfully fresh, offering a fine balance between acidity and fruit. Opulent without being overly imposing, with a very long finish, it is a vintage with great cellaring potential. Blend of 66% Cabernet Sauvignon, 32% Merlot, 1% Petit Verdot and 1% Cabernet Franc.

98 Points –James Suckling

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.
