Saint-Estèphe Grand Cru Classé 2018, Chateau Cos d’Estournel

Crafted from grapes grown on the estate’s oldest vines— fifty-five years old on average—Cos d’Estournel is a finely honed, precise wine that is both silky and full of verve. Finely structured and vibrant, the 2018 vintage is both powerful and balanced, with very soft tannins. It offers a multitude of nuances, including remarkably elegant spices and an extremely long and lingering finish. It is an extraordinary year with immense cellaring potential that will surely count among the most legendary vintages of the estate.
