Saint-Estèphe Wines

Sort By:

Château Cos d'Estournel 2008 Barrel sample Red (Saint-Estèphe)

Online Exclusive

96-98 Barrel sample. All the right elements are here. The wine is powerful, but has a wonderful lift of fresh fruit, spiced with wood but never too much. The tannins are sweet, ripe and delicious. It shows both gorgeous fruit and a dense structure. — R.V. (12/31/2009)

Château Cos d'Estournel 2005 Red (Saint-Estèphe)

Price $250

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. — R.V. (6/1/2008)

Château Montrose 2009 Barrel sample Red (Saint-Estèphe)

Online Exclusive

95-97 Barrel sample. A wine that feels big but not heavy. With a solid structure, the wine shows black density at the same time as the blackcurrant juice of Cabernet shines through. — R.V. (8/9/2010)

Château Cos d'Estournel 2005 Barrel sample Red (Saint-Estèphe)

Online Exclusive

95-97 Barrel sample. A hugely dense wine, packed with fruit tannins, with only a touch of wood showing through. There's a touch of peppermint, too. Firm and solid; a real blockbuster . — R.V. (6/20/2006)

Château Montrose 2010 Barrel sample Red (Saint-Estèphe)

Online Exclusive

95-97 Such a powerful wine, although with rounded flavors, very ripe in character. The wine has chocolate and dark coffee flavors to go with the juicy fruit. The acidity gives just the right balance. — R.V. (6/25/2011)

Château Montrose 2009 Red (Saint-Estèphe)

Cellar Selection
Online Exclusive

Enormous tannins, dominant black fruit and a solid, dense structure. The wine, packed with dark fruits, dry tannins, very firm in character. With its huge tannins as well as fruit, this is a wine that really needs many years of aging. — R.V. (4/1/2012)

Château Cos d'Estournel 2010 Barrel sample Red (Saint-Estèphe)

Online Exclusive

95-97 Huge tannins, a wine that is so concentrated and structured. The fruit is rich, with the acidity giving just enough freshness. It's a formidable wine, a huge mouthful of dense tannin and the ripest fruit. — R.V. (6/25/2011)

Château Cos d'Estournel 2011 Barrel Sample Red (Saint-Estèphe)

Online Exclusive

94-96. Barrel sample. Powerful tannins are embedded into this wine’s huge velvet cushion of ripe black plum, spiced fruit and chocolate. The wine shows the juicy character of the vintage, which follows right to the end with firm tannins. — R.V. (4/4/2012)
