Wine Description
The 2022 vintage of Chateau Cos d’Estournel is a compelling expression of Saint-Estphe’s terroir, boasting a deep garnet-purple colour. On the nose, it offers intense aromas of ripe blackberries, cassis, violets, crushed rocks, and exotic spices. The palate is full-bodied and layered, with a velvety texture and firm but polished tannins. Flavours of black cherry, cedar, cocoa, and graphite are supported by vibrant acidity and a long, powerful finish.
