September 11, 2022 - Drinking at its peak now and enjoy it. Dont wait and crack the bottle. Medium intensity fruity, not complex, tannins stick out, but its alright.
July 7, 2022 - Deep garnet in colour the nose shows brambles, cooling black fruit, coal and spice.
A soft, medium-bodied entry, the wine has a crispy lemon acidity that hits the tongue and increases the tannic grip on the gums. The tannins as a result, feel quite austere, almost hard. A dry wine has some but not lots of redcurrants, black cherry and blackcurrant. Reasonably enjoyable, this has some delicacy but lacks charm.
May 21, 2022 - An excellent well knitted Bordeaux wine that has all the elements there of the great wine. Only lighter, fresher, fruitier. But still mid-palate is concentrated. Still can keep for another 7 years or more.
April 20, 2022 - IT IS NOW RIPENING BUT STILL OPULENT FRUIT, STRUCTURE AND TANNINS. ACID A BIT RESTRAINT. STILL HAS FEW YEARS TO GO. LIGHTER ON MID PALATE AND FINISHES PREMATURELY, HENCE THE POINT DOWN.
November 14, 2014 - A smooth wine with medium tannin.it should be much better with longer finish.Considering the poor vintage，it needed much effort of winemaker.4/13/15/7 pw89
January 8, 2014 - Vertical tasting at Chateau. Disagree with most of the below comments - this wine is actually quite and a respectable effort in a very poor year.
September 19, 2013 - Spiced plum, raspberry. A little jammy. Med fruit on palate but rather bitter tannins.
September 19, 2013 - Have to partially disagree to below comments, I'm afraid. Did like this wine.
Good nose, great colour and great tasting. However quite a few of tannins in its taste.
Therefore - seeing the price I paid - was expecting much more though ....
August 4, 2013 - The nose is closed. Mainly black fruits, smooth but too thin. Medium body. The finish is short. Least attractive compared to other vintage 04/06/09 tried before.
April 26, 2013 - Uhh okay, I got it; 2007 was not a good year for Château Cos d'Estournel; 86-87 points.
