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.
Drinking window: 2022 - 2042
What the critics say:
"The 2016 Cos Labory is bold, racy and flamboyant. An immediate, voluptuous wine, the 2016 possesses striking density and silkiness in its red toned fruit. I imagine the 2016 will drink well right out of the gate. Even today, its balance is simply exceptional. Bright red cherry, blood orange, spice and wild flowers infuse the seductive finish. This is very nicely done."
"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."
