A Second Growth, Cos often displays qualities worthy of the First Growths, with prices to match. With the power and solid structure of Saint-Estèphe, it combines fruit, softness and elegance to give it exceptional charm. The quality of the last ten years has been remarkably consistent. A wine for laying down, it will have to wait some fifteen years in the great vintages, but will then be able to keep and improve for several decades, even a century. James Suckling (93)
