Cos d'Estournel 2009

Cos d'Estournel is a prestigious Second Growth estate in the Saint-Estèphe appellation of Bordeaux, celebrated for producing powerful yet elegant red wines. The vineyards, covering around 100 hectares, are planted mainly with Cabernet Sauvignon and Merlot, along with smaller amounts of Cabernet Franc and Petit Verdot. The soils of gravel, clay, and limestone give the wines a firm structure, minerality, and the ability to age gracefully.

The 2009 vintage of Cos d’Estournel is widely regarded as an exceptional year for Saint-Estèphe, producing rich, ripe, and concentrated wines with remarkable balance and depth. The warm, sunny growing season allowed the grapes to reach full physiological ripeness, resulting in a generous, fruit-forward style without losing the estate’s characteristic structure. On the nose, the 2009 shows intense aromas of blackcurrant, blackberry, plums, and dark cherries, layered with cedar, graphite, spices, and subtle floral notes. The palate is full-bodied and lush, with ripe, silky tannins, vibrant acidity, and a long, persistent finish that reflects both the richness of the vintage and the precision of Cos d’Estournel’s winemaking.

100 points- Deep garnet colored, the 2009 Cos d'Estournel features a myriad of wonderfully intense notes, including blackcurrant pastilles, redcurrant jelly, kirsch and blueberry compote with hints of rose hip tea, sautéed herbs, underbrush, pencil shavings and Indian spices. Full-bodied, rich and opulently fruited in the mouth, it has beautifully plush tannins and fantastic freshness, finishing very long and very spicy. ~Robert Parker.
