Critic Scores

100 // The Drinks Business

"(Saint-Estèphe; 60% Cabernet Sauvignon; 39% Merlot; 1% Petit Verdot; a final yield of 29 hl/ha; pH 3.68; IPT 81; 13.625% alcohol; tasted at the property with Dominique Arangoits and members of the Reybier family). Ethereal in its purity and very beautiful. Cos is a little intimate, drawing you in, with that dark graphite, a hint of cedar, a little pencil-shaving and copious dark berry fruits, a little cherry, but also, crucially that heathy, wild herb and here floral note, the signature of the appellation in the northern Médoc. I find this incredibly pure texturally, cool at the core, and spherical in form with great density and a sensation of viscosity that is rare in the vintage. I'm almost in tears. This has that slightly sombre haunting elegance that I think we will associate with the greatest wines of this vintage over the years to come. Incense and myrrh replace the sweet spices of old. Energetic and dynamic in its freshness. Beautiful. Sublime. - 98 to 100 Points - Colin Hay"

100 // Vinum Wine Magazine

"Once again fascinating, because both expressive and restrained; profound, multi-layered, warm in fruit, cool in expression; the palate confirms what the nose suggests, focused, precise, of great elegance and with a calm, controlled power, as only truly great wines possess; the tannins are silky-soft, the fruit is crisp, the finish is long and mineral-driven. A monumental wine full of tension, qualitatively beyond all doubt. In no way inferior to the outstanding 2023 vintage. (Drink from 2032 to 2065) - 98 to 100 Points - Adrian Van Velsen"

99 // James Suckling

"A density to this, yet it remains balanced and complex, with well-integrated tannins and a juicy finish. It seems to be a wine with lots of fruit, but then it diffuses and shows open-grained, velvety tannins. Intense yet subtle blackberries, lead pencil and hazelnuts. Some flint. Persistent and reserved at the end. Great potential. A blend of 60% cabernet sauvignon, 39% merlot and 1% petit verdot. - 98 to 99 Points - James Suckling"

99 // The Wine Cellar Insider

"Dark in hue, without fanfare, the aromatics showcase black cherries, flowers, licorice, smoke, raspberry, and spice-filled nuances. The palate is even better, with a vivid display of sweet, energetic, lingering fruits, licorice, oceanic influences, dark chocolate, and Indian spices. There is richness, density, lift, and length. Balanced and harmonious, this wine will offer an extraordinary tasting experience. Give it a few years in the bottle before pulling a cork. The wine comprises 60% Cabernet Sauvignon, 39% Merlot, 1% Petit Verdot. 13.25% ABV, 3.68 pH. The harvest took place September 3 - September 19, making this the earliest harvest in the history of the estate. Yields were 29 hectoliters per hectare. The wine is aging in 50% new, French oak barrels. The Grand Vin was produced from 50% of the harvest. Drink from 2030 - 2065. - 97 to 99 Points - Jeff Leve"

99 // Jeb Dunnuck

"Cassis, currants, smoky tobacco, chocolate, and graphite all define the 2025 Château Cos D'Estournel, a powerful, ripe, concentrated beauty based on 60% Cabernet Sauvignon, 39% Merlot, and 1% Petit Verdot that's still resting in 50% new barrels. On the palate, it's full-bodied, with a pure, layered mouthfeel, integrated oak, and a great finish. It stays lively, balanced, and remarkably fresh despite its weight and richness, and I'd happily put this up with the crème de la crème of the vintage. - 97 to 99 Points - Jeb Dunnuck"
