Tasted blind. Odd, loose and oaky. (JR)
The largest production cuvee is the Merlot-dominated 2015 Goulée By Cos D'Estournel and it’s a forward, open-knit, attractive red loaded with notions of plums, black cherries, and leafy herbs. I’d happily drink bottles over the coming 4-5 years.
77% Merlot, 19% Cabernet Sauvignon, 4% Cabernet Franc. IPT 57. 30% new oak. Bright crimson. New fresh style continues (started 2003). Floral ad fresh but fully ripe nose. Very nice gentle texture. (JR)
About the producer
Louis Gaspard d’Estournel inherited Cos and Pomys in 1791, founding Cos d’Estournel in 1811, investing significantly in the property and expanding the estate from 14 to 45 hectares. The estate rapidly rose to prominence and the wines were exported around the world.
