Wine Spectator
Features a whiff of matchstick before giving way to tangy citrus rind, pink grapefruit and salted butter notes. The long finish stays taut, with a pleasantly bitter almond and quinine profile. Offers an intriguing range of flavors and should settle in with some cellaring.

Robert Parker's Wine Advocate
Approximately 7,000 bottles are made of this blend of 70% Sauvignon Blanc and 30% Semillon. Lemon/lime/grapefruit dominate the aromatics. Medium-bodied with wet gravel-like scents this is a nicely textured wine with 5-7 years of aging potential.
Chateau Cos d'Estournel is a Grand Cru vineyard located in St. Estephe. Its oriental facade is adorned with three pagoda turrets, all cast in a soft golden sandstone. Chateau Cos d'Estournel today covers 170 acres separated from Chateau Lafite, along the southern edge, by the stream between St. Estephe and Pauillac. The gravelly soil, over a flint, limestone and silicate subsoil low in nitrogen, has eroded over centuries to form steep ridges which perfectly drain the vineyards. The vineyards are planted 60 percent in Cabernet Sauvignon vines, 2 percent of Cabernet Franc, and 38 percent in Merlot. Naturally, the percentage of Cabernet or Merlot in the composition of each vintage depends on the climate which favors one grape variety or the other.
