“Now under the same ownership as Cos d’Estournel, this estate has produced a lighter, more poised wine than in the past. That brings outfreshnessandfine black-currant fruitsto go alongside the structure.”

“A solid red withblackcurrants,cedar,sweet tobaccoand hints ofhot asphalt. Full-bodied, this has powerful tannins that are chewy and intense. More structured than I remembered. 55% cabernet sauvignon, 36% merlot, 7% petit verdot and 2% cabernet franc. This is the first vintage bottled by the owner of Cos dEstournel, who bought the estate in 2023. Try after 2028.”

“The 2022 Chteau Cos Labory comes from the team at Cos D’Estournel and is based on 55% Cabernet Sauvignon, 36% Merlot, 7% Petit Verdot, and the rest Cabernet Franc raised in 50% new French oak. This saturated purple-hued beauty boasts a great nose ofsmoky red and black fruitsinterwoven with notes ofgraphite,tobacco, andcrushed stone. It’s a rich, full-bodied, concentrated 2022 with sweet tannins and no hard edges. It already offers pleasure, yet I wouldnt be surprised to see this still going strong at age 30.”

“Lovely floral expression,violetandiris,blackcurrantsandblack cherrieswithplum tonestoo, but cool and fresh. Round and full, his has a lovely frame and structure, giving a ton of fruit density, with super plush, almost chewy, fine and firm and grippy tannins that are really quite enjoyable.Liquoriceanddark chocolate. Lots of freshness and cool touches. Really holds the interest, strict, a touch severe and serious but still lots to like.”

“The 2022 Cos Labory is a fine effort from the chteau in the year where Michel Reybier and his team at Cos d’Estournel finished levage and did the bottling. The 2022 offerstons of textural depthandoverall intensity, but it comes across as on the edge of overripeness.”
