{"product_id":"2020-cos-destournel","title":"2020, Château Cos d'Estournel, SAINT-ESTÈPHE, 2ème Grand Cru Classé","description":"\u003cp\u003eBordeaux Blend: Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot, Petit Verdot. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe 2020 Cos d'Estournel has a more understated bouquet than its peers, demanding more coaxing from the glass to reveal its gravel-tinged black fruit—quintessential Saint-Estèphe, really. The palate is medium-bodied with fine tannins, white-pepper-infused black fruit, gentle grip and quite a persistent finish. It's a bit uncompromising at the moment, but it should evolve into an excellent wine. Tasted blind at the annual Southwold tasting. \u003cstrong\u003e95+ Neal Martin, Vinous (2024)\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe 2020 Cos d'Estournel is a wine of extreme elegance. Silky and light on its feet, the 2020 is incredibly nuanced. In fact it is without question the most finessed of all the top wines in Saint-Estèphe, showing more in common with some of its neighbors in the north of Pauillac than the more potent wines of Saint-Estèphe. Impossibly soft, silky tannins wrap around a core of dark red fruit, spice and orange zest. The 2020 is not a huge Cos, but rather a wine for readers who appreciate elegance over power. I can't wait to see how it ages. Magnificent. \u003cstrong\u003e97 Antonio Galloni, Vinous (2022)\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eDrinking Window: 2030 - 2055\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Peter Maude Fine Wines","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":58888687386784,"sku":"BX20-COSD","price":420.0,"currency_code":"NZD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0515\/1889\/8336\/files\/peter-maude-fine-wines-france-new-zealand-left-bank-cos-d-estournel-saint-estephe_56ee7dbc-a491-42bc-8d7f-40f0b50f3b7e.jpg?v=1783909553","url":"https:\/\/www.pmfw.co.nz\/products\/2020-cos-destournel","provider":"Peter Maude Fine Wines","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
