Expert tasting note: (2024 vintage)
"Deep, dark not quite opaque with a vivid purple rim. Opulent, ripe fruit aromas are of pure cassis. The palate has an initial bitterness & density with crunchy, mouthwatering blackcurrant & damson fruit. The palate is medium to full bodied - it is fine & elegant rather than big & structured. Tannins are very fine & smooth & oak notes are well-integrated. The finish is balanced, elegant & mouthwatering with good persistence." - 04/25 ep DCAMW

"The 2024 Cos d'Estournel could very well be one of the wines of the vintage. Bright and vibrant in the glass, with tons of energy, the 2024 impresses with its vertical structure, depth and overall balance. Blue/purplish fruit, spice, new leather, lavender and mocha are beautifully delineated throughout. The 2024 is super-classic. The modest 12.8% alcohol is notable, especially because that also means there is less extraction of wood. Cos is one of my early favorites in 2024."
