Take the stress out of buying a gift, let them choose exactly what they want.
Cos d'Estournel has often divided opinion, but with the departure of general manager Jean-Guillaume Prats, it's possible that it will be somewhat less controversial this year. Certainly, stylistically, this is the most St-Estèphe-like of recent vintages and a far more refined and elegant wine with balanced alcohol. 75% Cabernet Sauvignon, 22% Merlot, 2% Cabernet Franc and 1% Petit Verdot, this is dark and pure on the nose. The palate is immediately very fresh, with attractive layers of black and red fruits and a smoky minerality. Tannins are incredibly fine and ripe, giving this wine a great deal of depth and structure, but not masking the fruit and acidity. Well judged and appealing.
