Bordeaux Total René Gabriel:

65 % Cabernet Sauvignon, 33 % Merlot, 2 % Cabernet Franc. Mit 33,5 Hektoliter pro Hektare eine eher kleinere Ernte. Extrem dunkles Purpur mit lila und violetten Reflexen. Royales Bouquet, die fast nur schwarzbeerig ausstrahlenden Fruchtkomponente sind sehr frisch, über dem vielschichtigen, faszinierenden Nasenspiel sind tanzende Veilchennoten zu erspüren, dann schwarze Edelhölzer, Lakritze und eine passende Portion Mokka dahinter. Im Gaumen seidige Tannine, ausgeglichene, reife Adstringenz, mittelgewichtiger Körper mit schon fast dramatischer Länge. Der allererste Cos, welchen ich als Fassprobe verkostete war der Jahrgang 1985. Und ich war damals sichtlich berührt. Und das war jetzt wieder der Fall. Mit einem Wein der dem 1985er in ganz vielen Dingen gleicht. Und dann doch wieder nicht! Trinkreife 2020-2040. Bewertung 19/20. –René Gabriel–

Robert Parker Wine Advocate:

The 2014 Cos d'Estournel is destined to turn into a very lovely Saint Estèphe. This bottle was actually tasted over a period of a few hours. The word "cool" is one that reappeared in my vernacular now that the wine is in bottle. The estate is known for producing a more luxuriant and extravagant bouquet compared to its Saint Estèphe peers, yet this vintage is streamlined (to re-appropriate my original descriptor). It's unashamedly focused and delineated. It delivers intense blackberry and bilberry scents, again with a touch of iris. The palate is beautifully balanced with not a single hair out of place. The acidity is well judged and I noticed that after two or three hours, there was a faint vein of graphite that lends it a Pauillac-like personality, no surprise given that it lies just across the border. It will require several years in bottle for the tannins to mellow, but the result will be a very attractive, quite correct, fresh and precise Cos d'Estournel that will bestow two or three decades of drinking enjoyment. Tasted February 2017. Drink Date 2022-2045. Rating 94/100. –Neal Martin–

Vinous:

The 2014 Cos d'Estournel is rich, powerful and seductive, with notable unctuousness but a medium-bodied frame. Plum, blackberry jam, bittersweet chocolate and lavender notes flesh out in an effortless, sumptuous wine that will provide superb drinking for the next few decades. The 2014 needs time to shed some baby fat, but it is quite impressive, even in the early going. The blend is 65 % Cabernet Sauvignon, 33 % Merlot and 2 % Cabernet Franc. Drink Date 2022-2044. Rating 95+/100. –Antonio Galloni–

James Suckling:

If you want to know what St.-Estèphe smells like, this is it. Aromas of spices, black truffles, forest floor, dried strawberries and tar. It’s full-bodied yet pinpointed on the palate with fabulous density and richness. It’s opulent but in a reserved and checked way. This needs at least five or six years to come around, but it’s already fantastic. What harmony and structure. Try in 2022 if you can keep your hands off it! Rating 98/100. –JamesSuckling.com–
