Château Cos d'Estournel 2ème Cru Classé 2005 is a grand and exclusive red wine from Saint-Estèphe in Bordeaux, France, which combines power, depth, and classic Médoc character in a refined and impressive expression. The 2005 vintage is considered one of the most sought-after Bordeaux vintages, and Château Cos d'Estournel here demonstrates its special ability to combine intense fruit, firm structure, and elegant complexity with an almost majestic style. It is a wine with both authority, finesse, and great aging potential.

On the nose, the wine opens with intense notes of blackcurrant, dark cherry, and ripe plum, beautifully complemented by cedar, tobacco, graphite, oriental spices, and a discreet hint of leather and dark chocolate. The aromatic profile is deep, complex, and very inviting, with a beautiful balance between ripe dark fruit and the characteristic Saint-Estèphe signature. The taste is full-bodied, concentrated, and silky smooth with prominent yet well-integrated tannins, excellent freshness, and a long, persistent finish where fruit, spice, and minerality elegantly blend together. The result is a wine with strength, precision, and classic French elegance.

Château Cos d'Estournel 2005 pairs particularly well with beef, lamb, game, braised dishes, and aged cheeses. It is a wine for special dinners and for those seeking a great Bordeaux with depth, complexity, and timeless character. An obvious choice for the wine lover who desires a Saint-Estèphe with both power, finesse, and great personality.

98 /100

The 2005 Cos d'Estournel is blended of 78% Cabernet Sauvignon, 19% Merlot and 3% Cabernet Franc. Deep garnet colored, it is still a little closed and youthfully shy. With coaxing, the nose is just beginning to offer glimpses at vivacious kirsch, red roses, violets, licorice and mocha scents over a crème de cassis, blackberry pie and chocolate-covered cherry core with wafts of chargrill, mossy bark and truffles. Full-bodied, concentrated and wonderfully complex in the mouth, the palate is just beginning to reveal the true potential of this wine, with tightly wound layers of perfumed black fruits and earthy notions bound by a rock-solid frame of firm, grainy tannins and finishing with epic persistence. This still needs 5-6 years, but I love how this beauty is shaping up!!

Vibrant, with stately ruby red depths, touches of smoked oak, grilled cocoa bean and liquorice. This is powerful, with depths to the slate-strewn tannins. Tobacco, saffron, sage, crushed stones, baked earth, there is an opulent ripeness to the fruit, just on the precipice of tertiary. A lovely wine, big shouldered still with a few years before reaching its plateau. A few years ago I wrote of the Cos 2005, ‘Good luck trying to predict when this wine will reach its end’, and I still absolutely stand by that comment. 100% new oak.

Saint-Estèphe has a reputation for tannins, and this 2005 Cos lives up to that. But it does much more, because the tannins add richness along with intensely ripe black fruits, dark plums and figs. The dense tannins are finely balanced with fresh acidity, and a long-lasting aftertaste. Impressive.

Wine Enthusiast

94 /100

Deep dark ruby garnet, opaque, violet edges, very inviting blueberry-cassis notes on the nose, very fine wood aromas, delicate hints of caramel and honey, incredibly complex bouquet, mineral notes. Very fresh and enormously concentrated on the palate, fine tannins, very mineral, fine cocoa touch, a very nervy wine with classic future potential, fine astringency, which will make it the perfect food companion.

About the grape

Rød Bordeaux Blend

Rød Bordeaux Blend er en kombination af de druesorter, der traditionelt bruges til Bordeaux' berømte rødvine. Det er ikke en officiel betegnelse, men en praktisk måde at tale om en vinsstil, der nu dyrkes over hele verden – fra Californien til Australien, Sydafrika til Chile.

Essensen er fleksibilitet: typisk en blend af Cabernet Sauvignon og Merlot, ofte suppleret med Cabernet Franc, Petit Verdot og Malbec. Hver drue tilfører noget unikt – struktur, frugt, krydderier eller blødhed.

Rød Bordeaux Blend er for dig, der søger kraftfuld struktur og dybe smagsnuancer. Det er vine med personlighed – nogle kan nydes straks, andre udvikler sig smukt gennem årene. Her får du en vinsstil med historisk fundament, der stadig inspirerer vinmagere verden over.

Serving

Rød Bordeaux Blend serveres bedst ved 16-18°C, hvor vinens frugt, struktur og kompleksitet står skarpest. Serveres den for varm, kan alkoholen virke mere dominerende, mens for lav temperatur dæmper aromaerne. Bordeaux anbefaler selv 16-18°C til strukturerede og lagringsværdige rødvine.
