Ripe, dark fruits, and flowers show in the nose, with ease. Polished, ripe, and round in texture, you find levels of sweetness, hints of chocolate, and juicy black cherries, with freshness in the finish, that leaves you with just a hint of dark chocolate on the backend. This is the last vintage for the new owners. Starting in 2023, the team of Cos d'Estournel took over the vineyard, and production of the wine. The wine blends of 55% Cabernet Sauvignon, 36% Merlot, 7% Petit Verdot, and 2% Cabernet Franc. Drink from 2026-2042.

The dark fruits show nicely in the nose, and on the palate. Soft, and round in texture, with ripeness, freshness, and sweetness, the only issue here is too much new oak, as the wine seems dry in the finish. This the last vintage for the new owners. Starting in 2023, the team of Cos d'Estournel will take over the vineyard and production of the wine. The wine is a blend of 55% Cabernet Sauvignon, 36% Merlot, 7% Petit Verdot, and 2% Cabernet Franc. Drink from 2025-2040. 91-93 Pts.

With a floral edge to the nose, you also find black currants, tobacco leaf, smoke and cherries in the perfume. The medium-bodied palate is bright, with a salty, crushed stone accent to the chewy, firm, finish. Give it just a year or two before pulling a cork. Drink from 2025-2038.

Black currants, tobacco leaf, herbs, forest floor and coffee bean on the nose is what you find before reaching the medium-bodied, round, currant filled palate. Forward, fruity and ready to go early in life, give it just a year or two before pulling a cork. Drink from 2024-2040. 89-91

Flowers, black raspberries, red and black currants, licorice, oak and spearmint create the perfume. On the palate, the wine is ripe, round and loaded with sweet, vibrant, clean, red berries that taste and feel just great! As I wrote earlier, Cos Labory has really upped their game lately. This makes three solid vintages in a row! Give it just a year or two in the cellar and it promises to be even better. Drink from 2025-2040.

Cos Labory has been making better wine than ever recently, and the 2019 continues that trend. Smoke, earthy, spicy, floral red and black fruits are all over the place on the nose and palate. Medium-bodied, fresh, long, fruity-filled and forward, with a solid depth-of-flavor, ripe tannins and a creamy textured finish. and a peppery nuance that kicks in on the endnote, this is going to be great with a few years of age. Drink from 2025-2040.

Medium bodied, fresh, bright, lifted red fruits, spice and earth pop up in the nose easily. The wine has energy, elegance and loads of red currants, red plums and herbs on the palate. The finish delivers more of those gorgeous red, sweet, chewy fruits. This is a big step up from previous vintages. I am liking it a lot!

Medium-bodied, forward, fresh, and savory, with an herbal, spearmint, and tobacco leaf edge to the red fruits, while not mature, it is already easy to like now and should deliver pleasure for at least the next 12 years or so. Drink from 2023-2035.

Ready to drink and showing well with its soft, round textures, earthy, dark red and black fruits, smoke and spicy profile. Medium bodied and charming, this is quite nice and is probably the best wine I recall tasting from the property. It really shows how great 2003 is for St. Estephe.
