13 Apr 2023 ? Unique structure to this wine and very Cos with all the spices and dark fruits. Tobacco and cedar. It's starts off full-bodied and flavorful but continues to unfold in an energetic and weightless way. Savory and primary. Al dente grapes here. Ex

One of the finest wines to ever pass my lips the 2022 Château Cos D'Estournel is a monument in the making. Based on 61% Cabernet Sauvignon 37% Merlot and 1% each of Cabernet Franc and Petit Verdot this saturated ruby/purple-hued Saint-Estèphe offers a full-bodied massive opulent style as well as perfumed red blue and black fruits ample spice chocolate graphite and lead pencil-like aromatics a stacked mid-palate flawless balance and a monster of a finish. An improved version of the 2009 (if that's possible) this is a legendary wine in the making. Hats off to Michel Reybier and technical director Dominique Arangoïts.

The 2022 Cos d?Estournel is stunning. Rich and statuesque in bearing the 2022 captures all the best this vintage had to offer. A wine of precision and power the 2022 balances the intensity of the year but without veering into the realm of the exotic as was the case in vintages such as 2005 and 2009. It marries ripeness and classical rigor in a style that is quite appealing. I imagine the 2022 will need a good 15-20 years to be at its finest. Harvest took place between September 7 and 23 exceptionally early.
Wine Advocate: 93-95 Points
The 2022 Cos d'Estournel unwinds in the glass with aromas of sweet berries plum liqueur and rich spices followed by a full-bodied broad-shouldered and muscular palate that's rich and structured with a ripe core of fruit and chewy tannins. Harvest dates were relatively early this year and maturation is occurring in only 50% new oak; yet the 2022's chunky glass-staining style makes it Ducru Beaucaillou's only rival for the title of most extracted second growth of the Médoc.
