The stunning winery is one of the most modern and sophisticated in all of Bordeaux, with a 100% gravity-fed cellar.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe 2025 Cos d'Estournel is shaping up to be one of the \u003cstrong\u003ewines of the vintage\u003c\/strong\u003e. Grand, \u003cstrong\u003edramatic and sweeping\u003c\/strong\u003e, with notable textural intensity, the 2025 hits all the right notes. Even in the very early going, the 2025 is magical. Dark red\/purplish fruit, spice, new leather, tobacco, lavender and mocha build effortlessly in the glass. More than anything else, I am blown away by the wine's magnificent balance. \u003cstrong\u003eA masterpiece\u003c\/strong\u003e. 2035-2075.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e96-99 \u003c\/strong\u003eAntonio Galloni, Vinous.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eA density to this, yet it remains balanced and complex, with well-integrated tannins and a juicy finish. It seems to be a wine with lots of fruit, but then it diffuses and shows open-grained, velvety tannins. Intense yet subtle blackberries, lead pencil and hazelnuts. Some flint. Persistent and reserved at the end. \u003cstrong\u003eGreat potential\u003c\/strong\u003e.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e98-99\u003c\/strong\u003e James Suckling.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eIncense and sandalwood aromatics, combines the density and concentration of a hot vintage with the \u003cstrong\u003efreshness \u003c\/strong\u003eand balanced alcohols of a cooler vintage, meaning both weight and lightness of touch (this is something you will hear a lot with the 2025 vintage but rarely find in reality). A real \u003cstrong\u003ebreadth and wide spectrum of possibilities \u003c\/strong\u003eare contained here, a little austere right now but these dark berry fruits and firm tannins are waiting to bloom with ageing. 50% new oak. Last year in organic conversion. 2036-2055.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e97\u003c\/strong\u003e Jane Anson, Inside Bordeaux\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe 2025 Cos d'Estournel appears to be one of\u003cstrong\u003e the finest wines this property has produced\u003c\/strong\u003e in the last decade.

It's full-bodied, \u003cstrong\u003eample and velvety\u003c\/strong\u003e, with a broad attack, layered mid-palate and beautifully fresh, concentrated flavours.
