The nose is typically layered and complex, with dark blackberry, cassis, plum and black cherry supported by cedar, graphite, cigar box, violet and subtle exotic spice.\n\nOn the palate, the wine is full-bodied and polished, with dense fruit framed by firm but refined tannins and a fresh, mineral-driven core. There is a sense of depth and architectural precision that should allow it to age beautifully for decades, especially in a 3L format, where development tends to be slower and more graceful.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eProduction\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eCos d’Estournel is sourced from the gravelly and clay-limestone soils of Saint-Estèphe, where the nearby Atlantic influence helps preserve freshness and structure in warm vintages.
