At one and the same time very concentrated but very tender.
The 1995 is a highly distinguished vintage in which is to be found all the traditional elegance of Cos d?Estournel. Its concentration reflects the extremely dry summer. Maturity: 2005 to 2020.
60% Cabernet Sauvignon, 40% Merlot.
Just like a novel writer can be the same and yet different through his works, a Grand Cru can express the same style through its different vintages.
In the eyes of Great Wines lovers, Cos d'Estournel has become the archetype of a certain style of virile elegance in which power does not exclude either grace or mildness.
Impressive in its youth by the intensity of its structure and the strength of its fruit, the wine of Cos evolves slowly to reach a wonderful melting quality and an aromatic complexity when it comes to complete maturity (between 10 to 30 years).
Great vintages of Cos d'Estournel can have an exceptionally long life, sometimes exceeding a hundred years.
Today, we can still drink some 1870 Cos d'Estournel bottles and find them admirable!
