Château Cos d'Estournel is the Saint-Estèphe estate ranked a Second Growth in the 1855 classification. This is its grand vin; the second wine is Les Pagodes de Cos.

The 2017 is about two-thirds Cabernet Sauvignon and a third Merlot, with a touch of Petit Verdot and Cabernet Franc. It's 13% alcohol.

It's a classic, straight-lined 2017: structured, with preserved plums and an attractive fruitiness balancing the frame. It needs a little air to unfurl.

Against Chateau Duhart-Milon 2016, Cos d'Estournel is the higher-ranked Second Growth with a longer life ahead; for a Cabernet-led Bordeaux to cellar for a milestone, choose Cos d'Estournel.

It will reward several more years in the cellar. If you open it now, decant it well ahead and serve with rib roast or lamb.

Awards

98 James Suckling
"Quite the bottle here! Spices, such as nutmeg and cinnamon, as well as dried meat and plums with cedar and sandalwood. Full body. Deep and dense in the center palate and a long, long finish. Shows finesse and tightness. Very polished tannins. Long and ethereal. Try after 2023."

98 Robert Parker's Wine Advocate
"Composed of 66% Cabernet Sauvignon, 32% Merlot, 1% Petit Verdot and 1% Cabernet Franc, yields for the grand vin in 2017 were 43 hectoliters per hectare, and it was aged in 60% new oak. It came in at an alcohol of 13% and an IPT of 68. Deep garnet-purple colored, the 2017 Cos d'Estournel needs a little coaxing to unfurl, revealing beautiful expressions of preserved plums, boysenberries, blackcurrant pastilles and wild blueberries with hints of Indian spices, menthol, lilacs and mossy tree bark plus a compelling suggestion of iron ore. Medium to full-bodied, the palate has a solid backbone of firm, grainy tannins and well-knit freshness supporting the tightly wound blue and black fruits layers, finishing long and fragrant. This wine will need a good 5-7 years in bottle before it begins to blossom and should go on for at least another 40 years. I expect this wine to be a blockbuster of a head-turner when I come back and taste it at 10 years of age! Rating: 98+"

95 Wine Enthusiast
"This impressive wine is structured yet well balanced by an attractive fruitiness that parallels the tannins and the smokiness from wood aging. The density of the palate is countered by fresh acidity that shines through. Drink 2024."

94 Jeb Dunnuck
"The grand vin 2017 Chateau Cos D'Estournel checks in as 66% Cabernet Sauvignon, 32% Merlot, and 1% each of Cabernet Franc and Petit Verdot brought up in 60% new French oak. It's a classic 2017 that shows the straight, very classic style of the vintage with its medium to full body, ripe, present tannins, and solid spine of acidity. Beautiful cassis, green tobacco, graphite, and cedar pencil notes all emerge from the glass, and as with the Pagodes, it's still tight and reserved on the palate. Reminding me of the 1996 with its classic, balanced style, give bottles 5-7 years and enjoy over the following two decades."
