In a few words ...
A Second Growth, Cos often displays qualities worthy of the First Growths, with prices to match. With the power and solid structure of Saint-Estèphe, it combines fruit, softness and elegance to give it exceptional charm. The quality of the last ten years has been remarkably consistent. A wine for laying down, it will have to wait some fifteen years in the great vintages, but will then be able to keep and improve for several decades, even a century. James Suckling (93)
Tasting notes

Dense, dark garnet color, drawing on purple in its youth.
Aroma
The bouquet reveals notes of cassis, violet, mocha, vanilla, spices and licorice.

Taste
The wines of Saint-Estèphe have strong tannins and thus reach their maturity more slowly than most other medals. They offer black fruits, a note of freshness, often a woody or smoky aspect and a floral touch.

A (very) great Bordeaux classic, not yet fully matured, but which should work wonders in the next 4 or 5 years.
