The Château Cos Labory 2016 is a chewy and chunky claret from the Saint-Estèphe appellation in Bordeaux, classified as a Fifth Growth in the 1855 classification.
The 2016 vintage was marked by an ideal growing season, with a warm and dry summer followed by cooler conditions, allowing the grapes to achieve optimal ripeness while retaining acidity.
This is a wine with great aging potential, but it's also accessible in its youth with decanting. Enjoy it with Beef Wellington, venison stew, roast leg of lamb with garlic and rosemary, or with cheeses such as mature Cheddar or aged Comté.
What the critics say:
"The 2016 Cos Labory is a supple, pretty wine with plenty of near and medium-term appeal. Sweet tobacco, cedar, leather, scorched earth and menthol are all nicely laced together. From bottle, the 2016 is a bit more subdued than it was from barrel, while some slightly rough contours are going to need time in bottle to sort themselves out fully."
"Deep garnet-purple colored, the 2016 Cos Labory opens with cassis, plums and herbs with notions of black soil and pencil lead. The medium-bodied palate is elegant and fresh with fine-grained tannins and nice purity, finishing long."
