Som altid sort vin, et strejf af violet kant. Meget intens lakridsbrombærnæse med crème de cassis, derefter friske ribs, surkirsebær, sorte og røde søde kirsebær, bitter chokolade, der altid forbliver hurtig og legende. Danser på trods af den enorme kraft, ikke så ultrafin og poleret som Montrose, det er Cos alt for massiv til. Rigt ekstrakt og glycerin, men ikke mærkbart i næse og mund, fremragende balance i den massive frugt og de ultrafede, fløjlsagtige tanniner. Den sorte, hurtige frugt dominerer også munden, jordet krydderi med Valrhona-chokolade, som i næsen så også her smørbløde tanniner, altid intenst kraftfuld sort frugt. Alligevel ikke for fed, nok meget, meget kraft og energi og frugt, men syren sørger for balancen. Vinen vil helt sikkert leve længe og er allerede meget sjov, bare langt fra Bourgogne og drømmende. I eftersmagen er der endda fede blåbær, og den spanske overdådighed skinner igennem med en frodig, frugtagtig finish, der varer i flere minutter. Cos er ekstremt massiv og imponerende, men også meget velsmagende i munden. En meget perfekt vin og samtidig et lille monster, ekstravagance havde ingen plads.

Parker om: Chateau Cos d’Estournel 2eme Cru

One of the greatest young wines I have ever tasted, the monumental 2009 Cos d’Estournel has lived up to its pre-bottling potential. A remarkable effort from winemaking guru Jean-Guillaume Prats and owner Michel Reybier, this blend of 65% Cabernet Sauvignon and the rest Merlot (33%) and a touch of Cabernet Franc (2%) was cropped at 33 hectoliters per hectare. It boasts an inky/black/purple color along with an extraordinary bouquet of white flowers interwoven with blackberry and blueberry liqueur, incense, charcoal and graphite. The wine hits the palate with extraordinary purity, balance and intensity as well as perfect equilibrium, and a seamless integration of tannin, acidity, wood and alcohol. An iconic wine as well as a remarkable achievement, it is the greatest Cos d’Estournel ever produced. It is approachable enough at present that one could appreciate it with several hours of decanting, but it will not hit its prime for a decade, and should age effortlessly for a half century.

Suckling om: Chateau Cos d’Estournel 2eme Cru

What a fabulous nose of currants, raspberries and Indian spices. Nutmeg and clover. Full-bodied, with an amazing precision and superb compacted fruit. Endless. Laser guided. Shows such intensity. Decadent and rich and changing all the time. Mystical wine. Dense, yet agile. More refined than when I tasted it in November in Hong Kong. Try in 2018.

Jeb Dunnuck om: Chateau Cos d’Estournel 2eme Cru

Another magical wine from this property, the 2009 Château Cos D'Estournel reminds me slightly of the 2005 with its incredibly rich, powerful, opulent style married to stunning finesse and elegance. Still youthful yet with a touch of maturity, its deep ruby/plum color is followed by classic Saint-Estèphe notes of blackcurrants, dried tobacco, loamy earth, Asian spices, and licorice. Deep, full-bodied, and massive on the palate, it's flawlessly balanced and has building tannins hiding under its wealth of fruit, with no hard edges and a great, great finish. This tour de force is still 5-7 years away from maturity and is a legendary wine to follow over the coming 40-50 years. 100/100

Wine Cellar Insider om: Chateau Cos d’Estournel 2eme Cru

The wine is just starting to establish itself. The baby fat has melted away. Now you find a wine of intensity. Intense concentration, intense aromatics, intense palate presence and an intense finish. But everything is in balance and harmony here. The fruit is lushly textured with a velvet drenched touch. While your palate is coated with layers of fruit, nothing is overwhelming. This is power and refinement, the true velvet fist in an iron glove. Still primary, give this another 7-8 years and you should have a legendary Bordeaux in your glass by that time.
