Château Cos d'Estournel St. Estephe 2002
An exceptional year. Small harvest. A wine of great intensity expressing both strength and fineness. A very complex bouquet: ripe red fruits, spices with floral notes. Long and voluptuous tanins. A well-balanced wine with a big potential for long keeping.
Wine Advocate
One of the candidates for wine of the vintage, this beauty has a dense purple color to the rim and a classic, noble nose of graphite intermixed with black currant, spice box, licorice, and red and black fruits. Medium to full-bodied with exceptional precision and definition, this beautifully textured wine stands out as one of the most successful wines of this irregular vintage. A brilliant effort, it should be at its best between 2008 and 2020.
Score: 93.

Wine Spectator
Gorgeous aromas of currants and berries with hints of licorice. Full-bodied, with velvety tannins and a pretty finish. Silky. This is extremely good for the vintage. The team of Cos worked hard on their 2002 and it shows. Best after 2009.
Score: 93.
