February 18, 2024 - Not decanted. From a small bottle. The 2020 Cos d'Estournel is great to drink even at this early stage. The acidity is very well integrated, making it a little fresher than other 2020s I've had so far. 93-94 pts. at the moment.

October 12, 2023 - deep purple red color, muted nose showing only dark fruit notes, a bit of plum and pepper, on the palate roasted and overtly sweet, very primary, oak presence stinging and too strong for my tastes, also has something of a heavy feel to it, many at the event liked this very much FWIW- and as with the Pichon Lalande it is easier to approach tonight than most.
[***?, 2040+ as with the 1986 I think this is going to take a very long time to get there] -

March 21, 2023 - A gorgeous, stylish wine, here you find a series of waves packed with blackberries, black plums, black cherries, smoke, licorice, dark chocolate, soy and an array of spices. Rich, deep and intense, the wine hits all the right notes as it melds power, fruit, freshness and elegance to create an opulent, velvety, silky finish that builds and expands as it hangs with you. This is so good now, it will be hard to wait to pull a cork. But its best days are all in the future. So, wait a bit and you will be amply rewarded with an incredible wine. Drink from 2028-2060.

June 23, 2021 - For the sake of honesty, I put my exact notes, written before the commercial releases but I do not put any comments on the wines whose price has exploded monstrously for no valid reason. Personally, I continue to buy much cheaper 2019s or much better 2016s.

May 22, 2021 - 96-98 vvPunkte (62% Cabernet Sauvignon, 38% Merlot, 13.46% Alkohol, PH 3.9, 55% Neuholz) Feinduftige Nase, ein Parfum, Zedernholz, Cassis, Lavendelblüten, Blütenhonig, Kardamom, Zimt, nichts überwiegt. Im Gaumen druckvoll und mit viel Rasse, ein Mund voll Wein, grossartig strukturiert, die konzentrierte Frucht scheint auf einem Teppich von seidigen Tanninen zu schweben, die Säure ist top verpack, verleiht Zug und Frische. Dieser Wein ist noch sehr wild, mächtig und voller Geheimnisse. Alle Anlagen sind da, dürften sich mit fortschreitendem Ausbau zusammenfinden. 2032-2050+ (April/Mai 2021) vvWine.ch
