65% Cabernet Sauvignon, 33% Merlot, 2% Cabernet Franc. For Aymerich the 2014 Cos was a late born baby - and he is clearly a proud father as he finds it bewitching. It certainly is a great wine. Deliciously fragrant nose of dark red fruit and some sweet rolling tobacco. This is nicely dense, there is a lovely, very precise feel to the intense dark core. A rather luxurious texture is backed up by the deliciously fine grained tannins, this finishes very long and very focused, just such good balance. Rating: 96 L&S (Apr 2015)

Inky depths to this wine, from the first pour you are aware of the exceptional quality, really standing out in this horizontal tasting of the appellation. Inky in colour, heading to soft ruby around the edges, brushed velvet texture, and loaded up with graphite, turmeric, cassis, mint leaf, clove, chocolate and mandarin peel. Impactful and confident, just a shame that the bottle is so heavy. Michel Reybier owner, Aymeric de Gironde director. Drinking range: 2022 - 2042 Rating: 96 Jane Anson, Decanter (Oct 2022)

The 2014 Cos d’Estournel has another intense bouquet with blackberry, graphite, tobacco and mint aromas, almost Pauillac in style. The palate is medium-bodied with firm tannin that exert plenty of grip. This is surfeit with sappy black fruit, graceful and tensile with a beautiful, svelte finish that fans out gloriously. There is real panache to this wine, persistent and satisfying, the aftertaste of graphite and tobacco extraordinarily long. Tasted blind at the annual Southwold tasting.

Very deep crimson. Clean, fresh attack. Very rich and smooth and worked. Intense and attention-grabbing. Sweeter and plummier than some – which is arguably not an attribute in a St-Estèphe. Drinking range: 2023 - 2038 Rating: 17 Jancis Robinson OBE MW - www.JancisRobinson.com (Feb 2018)
