Cos D Estournel Saint Estephe 2012 750ml

Cos d’Estournel Saint-Estèphe 2012 is a distinguished Bordeaux red wine produced by Château Cos d’Estournel, a prestigious Second Growth estate under the 1855 Bordeaux Classification. Crafted primarily from Cabernet Sauvignon, complemented by Merlot, Cabernet Franc and Petit Verdot, this vintage showcases the estate’s characteristic combination of concentration, structure and aromatic complexity.
The 2012 vintage presents an expressive profile of blackcurrant, blackberry, black cherry and dark plum, complemented by hints of liquorice, cedar, graphite, exotic spices and subtle smoky nuances. Its medium-to-full-bodied palate balances concentrated fruit with fresh acidity and structured tannins, resulting in a wine that is both powerful and refined. <Cite refs={["turn630168search2","turn630168search9"]}/>
