Vinous

The 2024 Cos Labory is a powerful, burly wine. Dark-toned fruit, gravel, licorice, incense and chocolate are all dialed up. Strong saline accents extend the brooding finish. Ample, deep and quite imposing, Cos Labory offers plenty of impact. There is still some rusticity here that needs to be addressed, but Cos Labory is moving in the right direction. Tasted two times. 04/2025

Vinous

The 2024 Cos Labory has another powerful, fruit-driven bouquet with black cherry, cassis, iodine and violet aromas. You would assume it comes from a warm vintage like 2020 or 2022. The palate is dense medium-bodied with a noticeable lattice of tannins, firm grip and a dash of black pepper on the finish. This is one of the few Left Bank wines that might require some bottle age. 04/2025

Notes of cassis, plums and pencil shavings introduce the 2024 Cos Labory, a medium-bodied, supple and suave wine with a polished profile and a discreetly minty finish. 04/2025

Loads of ripe black cherries, graphite, smoked herbs, and some earthy notes all emerge from the 2024 Château Cos Labory, another richly textured, concentrated, structured wine that I suspect will need some time. The blend is 62% Cabernet Sauvignon, 26% Merlot, 10% Petit Verdot, and the rest Cabernet Franc. 05/2025

A powerful, muscular St.-Estephe for the year with lots of fresh blackberries and black cherries. Full-bodied and tight-grained, with abundant tannins and a compact, medium-long finish. Slightly chewy at the end. 62% cabernet sauvignon, 26% merlot, 10% petit verdot and 2% cabernet franc. 04/2025
