In the 1855 Classification, it was classified as a second growth and remains one of the most prominent and sought-after of all Bordeaux wines. Historically, the Cabernet Sauvignon-dominant grand vin has had a high percentage of Merlot compared with other Médoc growths, although this has lessened in recent years. Cos d'Estournel is dark, brooding and tannic when young, developing complexity and intensity with time.\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003cem data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eThe estate is situated in the very south of Saint-Estèphe, just north of Pauillac's Lafite Rothschild. The south-facing vineyard slopes gently down to the Jalle du Breuil stream which separates it from Lafite. In old Gascon, \"cos\" means \"hill of pebbles\", and the vineyard does consist of deep Quaternary gravels and clay on limestone bedrock. It covers 91 hectares (225 acres) and is planted 60 percent to Cabernet Sauvignon and the rest Merlot. \u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c!-- split --\u003e \u003c!-- split --\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003ctable\u003e\n\u003ctbody\u003e\n\u003ctr class=\"first odd\"\u003e\n\u003cth class=\"label\"\u003eVarietal\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd class=\"data last\"\u003eBordeaux Blend\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr class=\"even\"\u003e\n\u003cth class=\"label\"\u003eVintage\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd class=\"data last\"\u003e2003\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr class=\"odd\"\u003e\n\u003cth class=\"label\"\u003eRating\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd class=\"data last\"\u003e93 RP\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr class=\"even\"\u003e\n\u003cth class=\"label\"\u003eBottle Size\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd class=\"data last\"\u003e750 ml\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr class=\"odd\"\u003e\n\u003cth class=\"label\"\u003eBottle Quantity\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd class=\"data last\"\u003e1\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr class=\"even\"\u003e\n\u003cth class=\"label\"\u003eCountry\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd class=\"data last\"\u003eFrance\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr class=\"odd\"\u003e\n\u003cth class=\"label\"\u003eRegion\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd class=\"data last\"\u003eBordeaux\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr class=\"even\"\u003e\n\u003cth class=\"label\"\u003eLocation\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd class=\"data last\"\u003eSt Estephe\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr class=\"odd\"\u003e\n\u003cth class=\"label\"\u003eProducer\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd class=\"data last\"\u003eCos d'Estournel\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr class=\"even\"\u003e\n\u003cth class=\"label\"\u003eColor\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd class=\"data last\"\u003eRed\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr class=\"last odd\"\u003e\n\u003cth class=\"label\"\u003eWine Type\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd class=\"data last\"\u003eTable\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003c\/tbody\u003e\n\u003c\/table\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c!-- split --\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003ctable\u003e\n\u003ctbody\u003e\n\u003ctr class=\"first odd\"\u003e\n\u003cth class=\"label\"\u003eRobert Parker\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd class=\"data last\"\u003e93 RP - \u003cspan data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eHarvest finished this year on September 25. The 2003 Cos d'Estournel is a blend of 68% Cabernet Sauvignon, 30% Merlot and 2% Cabernet Franc. It has a deep garnet-brick color and quite an herbal nose with notions of dried Mediterranean herbs and roasted meats over a core of crème de cassis, stewed plums and unsmoked cigars plus a touch of new leather. Full, rich, concentrated and decadent in the mouth, the palate, though medium-bodied, packs a wallop of fruit with plenty of earthy\/savory accents and an herbal lift to the finish.\u003c\/span\u003e\n\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003c\/tbody\u003e\n\u003c\/table\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c!-- split --\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003ctable\u003e\n\u003ctbody\u003e\n\u003ctr class=\"first odd\"\u003e\n\u003cth class=\"label\"\u003eWine Spectator\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd class=\"data last\"\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003c\/tbody\u003e\n\u003c\/table\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c!-- split --\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003ctable\u003e\n\u003ctbody\u003e\n\u003ctr class=\"first odd\"\u003e\n\u003cth class=\"label\"\u003eBurghound\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd class=\"data last\"\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003c\/tbody\u003e\n\u003c\/table\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c!-- split --\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003ctable\u003e\n\u003ctbody\u003e\n\u003ctr class=\"first odd\"\u003e\n\u003cth class=\"label\"\u003eVarietal\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd class=\"data last\"\u003eBordeaux Blend\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr class=\"even\"\u003e\n\u003cth class=\"label\"\u003eVintage\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd class=\"data last\"\u003e2003\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr class=\"odd\"\u003e\n\u003cth class=\"label\"\u003eRating\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd class=\"data last\"\u003e93 RP\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr class=\"even\"\u003e\n\u003cth class=\"label\"\u003eBottle Size\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd class=\"data last\"\u003e750 ml\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr class=\"odd\"\u003e\n\u003cth class=\"label\"\u003eBottle Quantity\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd class=\"data last\"\u003e1\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr class=\"even\"\u003e\n\u003cth class=\"label\"\u003eCountry\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd class=\"data last\"\u003eFrance\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr class=\"odd\"\u003e\n\u003cth class=\"label\"\u003eRegion\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd class=\"data last\"\u003eBordeaux\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr class=\"even\"\u003e\n\u003cth class=\"label\"\u003eLocation\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd class=\"data last\"\u003eSt Estephe\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr class=\"odd\"\u003e\n\u003cth class=\"label\"\u003eProducer\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd class=\"data last\"\u003eCos d'Estournel\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr class=\"even\"\u003e\n\u003cth class=\"label\"\u003eColor\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd class=\"data last\"\u003eRed\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr class=\"last odd\"\u003e\n\u003cth class=\"label\"\u003eWine Type\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd class=\"data last\"\u003eTable\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003c\/tbody\u003e\n\u003c\/table\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c!-- split --\u003e","brand":"BARRY F","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":43319865671811,"sku":"COS-2003","price":235.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0353\/9864\/7939\/files\/2003-chateau-cos-destournel-bordeaux-750ml-868.webp?v=1770279238","url":"https:\/\/cultwine.com\/zh\/products\/2003-chateau-cos-destournel-bordeaux-750ml","provider":"CultWine","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
