Chateau Tasting :
The colour is deep and brilliant. The bouquet is delicate and complex dominated by the fruit, but with subtle hints of roast and animal life. The wine’s structure is full and silky. The finish is gentle and persistent. A splendid bottle to be drunk as from now. 60% Cabernet Sauvignon ; 40% Merlot.
Wine Advocate#109 (2/1997) Rating: 89 points Drink:1997 - 2011
One of the most successful Medocs of the vintage, Cos d'Estournel's 1993 exhibits an opaque dark purple color, and a heady, sweet, pure, blackcurrant bouquet that roars from the glass. With surprising richness, fat, and glycerin, tasters would never suspect that this medium-bodied, elegant yet authoritatively-flavored wine emerged from such a difficult vintage. The wine's low acidity and roundness guarantees 12-14 years of drinkability. This is a splendid success in an irregular vintage. Cos d'Estournel is clearly producing wines that are often of first-growth potential. -Robert Parker
Wine Spectator (1/ 31/1996) Score: 88
Cos-d'Estournel never lets you down in a vintage. Pretty blackberry character hints of mocha and chocolate. Medium-bodied, adding velvety tannins and toasted oak finish. Drinkable now, but better in 1998. –JS
