Rating: 98+/100 Robert Parker-The Wine Advocate The 2018 Cos d'Estournel is a blend of 74% Cabernet Sauvignon, 23%
Merlot, 2% Petit Verdot and 1% Cabernet Franc, aged in 50% new oak
barriques. The alcohol weighs in at just over 14.5%. Sporting a deep
purple-black color, it needs a lot of swirling to begin to unlock a
powerful nose of crème de cassis, stewed plums, wild blueberries and
chocolate-covered cherries, followed by nuances of Sichuan pepper, star
anise, tree and clove oil, plus a waft of charcoal. The full-bodied
palate is densely packed with taut, muscular black fruits and earthy
layers, framed by super firm, ripe, grainy tannins and seamless
freshness, finishing very long and wonderfully earthy. A very impressive
behemoth, this is going to need a good seven to 10 years to truly show
its stuff and should drink for a good 40 years and beyond.
