Château Cos d'Estournel 2003 is an exclusive red wine from Saint-Estèphe in Bordeaux, France, classified as 2ème Cru Classé in the 1855 classification. The 2003 vintage is known for its warm and mature style, and the wine presents itself as a powerful, opulent, and characterful expression where intense fruit and classic structure go hand in hand. It is a wine with great personality, depth, and a more generous style than many classic Bordeaux vintages.

On the nose, the wine opens with intense notes of ripe dark berries, blackcurrant, plum, and cherry, beautifully complemented by vanilla, graphite, spices, and a light touch of dried herbs, leather, and roasted meat. The aromatic profile is rich, complex, and slightly evolved with both ripe fruit and tertiary notes. Several tasting descriptions highlight a "flamboyant" and "sumptuous" bouquet with notes of red fruit, vanilla, and graphite, as well as a hint of Mediterranean herbs .

The palate is full-bodied, concentrated, and silky smooth with ripe tannins and a round, generous texture. The wine shows both power and elegance with a beautiful balance between ripe fruit, spice, and structure, and the finish is long with notes of dark chocolate, minerality, and warm spices . The result is a wine that combines intensity and complexity with a more accessible and rounded style.

Château Cos d'Estournel 2003 pairs particularly well with beef, lamb, game, braised dishes, and mature cheeses. It is a wine for special dinners and for those seeking a powerful and mature Bordeaux with depth, complexity, and classic Saint-Estèphe character.

97 /100

Two terrific efforts from this vintage, the 2003 Cos d’Estournel (70% Cabernet Sauvignon, 27% Merlot and the rest Petit Verdot and Cabernet Franc) remains one of the superstars of the vintage. It offers an opaque ruby/purple hue as well as notes of incense, camphor, licorice, creme de cassis and graphite. Full-bodied, opulent, incredibly fresh and well-delineated, it can be consumed now and over the next decade. Kudos to the team at Cos d’Estournel.

About the grape

Cabernet Sauvignon

Denne vin er en del af Pinot Noir Blends – en spændende kombination af Bordeaux' kraftfulde Cabernet Sauvignon og Bourgognes elegante Pinot Noir. Den tykskallede drue elsker varme, solrige klimaer og giver vine med dyb farve, kraftig struktur og markante tanniner. Det er en vin med personlighed – stærk nok til at stå alene, men også perfekt som fundament i blends.

To verdener mødes: Cabernets faste tanniner og solbærsaromaer forenes med Pinot Noirs jordnære kirsebærtoner og silkeagtige tekstur. Resultatet er en vin med både struktur og finesse – kraftfuld, men stadig nuanceret.

En sjælden blend, der viser hvad der sker, når to af verdens mest elskede druesorter kombineres.

Cabernet Sauvignon er for dig, der søger kraft, struktur og dybde. Det er vine med lagringspotentiale – nogle kan nydes straks, andre udvikler sig smukt gennem årtier. Her får du en vinsstil med international appel og lokalkarakter.

Serving

Cabernet Sauvignon er en kraftfuld vin, der kræver den rette behandling for at vise sit fulde potentiale.

Temperatur: Rumtemperatur eller lidt under

Server Cabernet Sauvignon ved 16-18°C – lidt køligere end standard "rumtemperatur". For høj temperatur fremhæver alkoholen og gør vinen tung; for lav dæmper frugt og aromaer.

Tag vinen ud af kælderen eller vinkøleskabet 20-30 minutter før servering
Undgå at servere ved fuld stuetemperatur (22°C+)
Dekantning: Ofte en fordel

Særligt unge Cabernet Sauvignon-vine med høje tanniner har gavn af dekantring:

Unge vine (0-5 år): Dekanter i 30-60 minutter for at blødgøre tanniner og åbne aromaer
Modne vine (10+ år): Dekanter forsigtigt for at adskille bundfald, men server relativt hurtigt
Dekantring giver vinen ilt, hvilket afslører skjulte aromaer og gør strukturen mere tilgængelig.
