Cos d'Estournel 2018 is the grand vin of the Saint-Estèphe estate in Bordeaux, and a vintage that drew top marks from the critics: 98+ from Robert Parker, 98 from Antonio Galloni at Vinous, and 98 from James Suckling.
The blend is 74% Cabernet Sauvignon, 23% Merlot, 2% Cabernet Franc and 1% Petit Verdot, at 14.5% ABV. The estate describes it as straight and vibrant, sitting between power and balance, with very mellow tannins. It carries many nuances, above all a strong character of noble spices, and the finish is long and persistent. A vintage of rare quality with immense ageing potential, it promises to join the family of anthology Cos d'Estournel.
This is a bottle for the cellar or for a landmark occasion. Decant it well ahead and serve with roast lamb or aged beef. Ralph's imports Cos d'Estournel itself and delivers across Metro Manila.
