Dried flowers, smoke, licorice, Indian spices, black cherries, plums , chocolate, and a hint of blue fruit shows up with ease in the perfume. The palate is the wine shines. Here, you find layers of supple, creamy ripe, black and red fruits, polished textures, creamy, soft tannins and a finish that builds and lingers with its waves if fruit and subtle, smoked herb note that comes in at the end of the finish. The wine was made from blending 64% Cabernet Sauvignon, 30% Merlot, 1% Petit Verdot and 1% Cabernet Franc. Drink from 2026-2055.

(96-98 vvPunkte) (64% Cabernet Sauvignon, 30% Merlot 4% Cabernet Franc, 2% Petit Verdot). Kräftige Farbe. In der Nase feinduftig, mit Kräutern, exotischen Gewürzen, einer klaren Kirschfrucht, dazu etwas schwarze Johannisbeere und florale Aromen. Im Gaumenleichtfüssig, schlank, saftig und frisch, hochelegant, das Holz perfekt verpackt, die Tannine sind seidig, markant, machen sich erst ganz hinten bemerkbar, der Wein zeigt einen grossen Trinkfluss, hat Charme und endet langanhaltend auf einen Mix aus roten und dunklen Beeren sowie eine leicht salzige Note. Ausgezeichnet in Balance und vielleicht der burgundischste Cos, den ich je probieren durfte. Wird früh zugänglich sein, doch sein Reifepotential ist nicht zu unterschätzen. 2027-2050+ (Verkostet "En Primeur" im April 2022. Château Cos d'Estournel) vvWine.ch

Selections of Bordeaux 2021 from barrel: Another candidate for top 2021 red, as tasted from barrel: This blend of 64% Cabernet Sauvignon, 30% Merlot, 4% Cabernet Franc and 2% Petit Verdot transcends 2021 with vivid cool blue fruit, tobacco leaf, spice, artisanal chocolate, pepper and spice and excellent freshness on the finish, backed up by palate density and underlying power. Aging in 55% new oak and clocking in at 12.7% alcohol, it reflects superb lower alcohol balance. (95-97)

Earthy, spicy, black raspberries, blackberries, flowers, and black currants create the nose and the core of its medium/full-bodied palate. Soft, silky, fresh and polished, there is a nice sweetness and refined edge to the fruit on the palate, finishing with layers of vibrant, peppery, tea-stained, black currants with a gentle hint of herbs on the backend. The wine was made from blending 64% Cabernet Sauvignon, 30% Merlot, 1% Petit Verdot and 1% Cabernet Franc,13% alcohol, pH of 3.7. The yields were 35 hectoliters per hectare. The harvest took place September 23 to October 7. The Grand Vin was produced from 50% of the harvest. The wine is going to approachable early in its life. Drink from 2025-2055. 95-97

Encore très difficile à goûter, note actuelle susceptible d'être revue à la hausse
