Tasted at Bordeaux Index's annual 10-Year On tasting in London.The 2006 Château Cos d'Estournel has a far superior bouquet to the Montrose, much more fruit intensity with ferrous red berry fruit, hints of undergrowth and Indian spice (most appropriate!). The palate is medium-bodied with supple Merlot-driven savory red fruit, a little grainy in texture with moderate depth, leading to a spicy finish that seems quite forward for a Cos d'Estournel at this juncture. There is no harm in drinking this now, though I wager that it will offer another ten years of pleasure. Just don't expect it to be your favorite Cos d'Estournel in recent years. Tasted January 2016.

Mid crimson with some development. Very direct fragrance - not the most complex at this stage. Rich and very fine on the palate though with lovely nuance and a slightly dry, brickish finish. Very appetising and well balanced. Drink 2013-2030

Blackberry, black licorice and violet aromas follow through to a full body, with soft, silky tannins and a pretty, balanced finish. Refined and flavorful. Best after 2014. –JS

The exceptional 2006 Cos d’Estournel is composed of 78% Cabernet Sauvignon, 20% Merlot, and 2% Petit Verdot, 55% of the production was utilized. Revealing superb intensity for a 2006 as well as an inky/blue/purple color, and a sweet bouquet of blue and black fruits, licorice, graphite, and charcoal, this full-bodied 2006 possesses high levels of sweet tannin. This wine is characterized by a freshness and precision that give it a 1996-like affinity. Enjoy this beautifully concentrated, exceptionally pure, statuesque Cos d’Estournel over the next 20-25 years. By the way, it was bottled without any fining or filtration.

Good medium red-ruby. Musky aromas of dark fruits, smoky herbs, pepper, menthol and game. Then surprisingly sweet on entry before turning masculine and broad-shouldered in the middle, with impressive volume. Serious, smoky, soil-driven flavors of dark fruits, menthol and minerals. The solid tannins saturate the front teeth and the sides of the mouth. The IPT (indice de polyphenols totaux) here is a very high 91, compared to 89 in '05, 86 in '03 and 78 in '07. Not at all an easy style; in fact, this may well need a full 12 to 15 years of cellaring.

Le vin le plus raffiné de l'appellation, avec une belle matière suave en bouche et un fruité profond. Il se distingue par des tanins très fins et racés. Très bonne intensité.

Huge colour, very exotic and lots of new oak, fabulous extraction of ripe fruit, firm and structured, even severe, very good length, a true vin de garde. 2014-40

Le Point

16,5 / 20

par Jacques Dupont le 24/05/2007

Grillé, chocolat, bois assez présent qui devrait se fondre devant la puissance tannique du vin aux saveurs de fruits confits, épice, très riche, une matière imposante, serrée qui manque à ce stade d'un peu deraffinement. On acru même déceler une pointe de dureté en finale. L'élevage sera déterminant. Si l'ensemble se fond, c'est réussi.

Tiefdunkles Rubingranat, fast schwarzer Kern, violetter Rand. In der Nase eine noble, einladende Gewürznote von Edelhölzern, mineralisch und frisch, feines Cassis. Am Gaumen frische, eher rotbeerige Frucht, finessenreiche Säurestruktur, dann folgt ein mächtiger Tanninblock, der noch etwas adstringent wirkt, im Finish zwar mit einer süßen Frucht unterlegt, aber hier erscheint auch eine leicht austrocknende Tendenz, die den Wein Länge kostet, Bitterschokonachhall. Hier ist es noch sehr früh, der Wein wird sich sicher über die Jahre gut entwickeln, noch ist es ein ziemlicher Brocken.

2015-2035. Tiefdunkles Weinrot, violette Reflexe in der Mitte. Geniales Bouquet, Kandisnoten, viel Lakritze, Black Currant, schwarze Oliven, Redwood- und Palisandernoten, nobel und finessenreich. Genial auch im Gaumen, hochfeine, reife Tannine, tolle, ausufernde Aromatik, dunkel unterlegte Rösttöne, viel schwarze und blaue Beeren, extrem nachhaltig, jahrgangstypische respektive Appellationstypische Gerbstoffe, aber gut verpackt und wesentlich zum Alterungspotenzial beitragend. Warum ist der 2006er Cos so gross? Weil der Wein bei mittlerem Körper und perfekter Eleganz ein Maximum an Aromatik und Kraft ausstrahlt.

Jean-Guillaume Prats told me that yields were a modest 38 hectoliters per hectare, and only 55% of the production made it into the 2006 Cos. The harvest took place between September 21 and October 6, and the final blend is dominated by Cabernet Sauvignon (78%), followed by 20% Merlot, and 2% Cabernet Franc. The dense ruby/purple-tinged 2006 recalls such vintages as 1988 and 1996. It offers a classic bouquet of incense, licorice, pain grille, black currants, truffles, and flowers. Medium-bodied and concentrated with moderately high tannin, it will require 8-10 years of cellaring, and should keep for 30 or more. It is another terrific effort from an estate that has done everything right over the last decade.

Le vin le plus noblement aromatique et le plus accompli sur le plan formel des derniers millésimes du château. Admirable fraîcheur aromatique, liée à un fort pourcentage de cabernet-sauvignon, texture ample, veloutée, aussi accomplie que dans les premiers crus, immense suite en bouche. Se goûtait divinement bien !

Die würzige, verführerische Nase der grossen Cos-Jahrgänge mit hohem Cabernet-Anteil (80 Prozent der Assemblage); von superber Art im Mund, dicht, fisch, saftig und sehr lang, hervorragend gemeistertes, lecker-edles, lebhaftes Tannin, wuchtiges Finale, grosser, herausragender Cos und einer der Topbuys des Jahres. 2014 bis 2026

Tasted at the château. A lush opulent nose with black cherries, cassis and iodine, all with great definition and well-integrated new oak. For me this is a flamboyant, confident Cos d’Estournel, without the sophistication or depth of the 2005, but with lots of charm. Notes of blackberry, violets and a touch of graphite with an unusually floral finish with a Burgundian lightness of touch. Touch of espresso on the aftertaste. Very fine, although if I had to choose between this and Calon-Ségur, I would opt for the one with the heart. Tasted April 2007.

There is a considerable amount of wood here, giving a firm, solid structure, like all good wines from St-Estèphe. But the weight and concentration of the fruit balances well with the tannins. A solidly constructed, but somehow elegant wine. —R.V.

Jancis Robinson

par Jancis Robinson le 13/04/2007

Very deep, very Cabernet (78%) right out to the rim. Intense – very lively real energy in this wine. Much more solid and more obviously fruity than the more ethereal Lafite next door – but a very fine wine with great balance and zest and a bit of ink on the finish. Glossy, meaty, even slightly salty. Very long-term wine but non-aggressive tannins.

Wonderful aromas of violets and berries, with a mineral undertone. Full-bodied, with a solid core of fruit and tannins. Firm and chewy, tannic and muscular. Midpalate of fruit that builds on the palate. Almost 95-100.
