Reviewed May 2020High Merlot levels that clearly reached full ripeness in the summer heat, just about avoiding the tip over into fig character. Accessible already, but should drink well for a good decade. Ripe blueberry and blackberry fruits, touches of vanilla bean, the freshness from its location close to the Gironde estuary is clear and necessary, and this is an enjoyable Goulée. (JA)

This is a rich and intense G with lots of dried berries and chocolate. Medium-to full-bodied with firm tannins that nicely frame the wine nicely. Drinkable now, but can age well.

The 2019 Goulée by Cos d'Estournel is an intensely savory, aromatic Médoc. Tobacco, spice, cedar, mint, dark cherry, licorice and incense all grace this mid-weight wine. Silky tannins round things out in style. The 2019 is a charmer. (AG)

Coming from the Médoc, the 2019 G D'Estournel is a rock-solid effort that has lots to love. Giving up pure, ripe black cherry fruit as well as tobacco and scorched earth notes, it's medium-bodied, has a round, nicely balanced mouthfeel, ripe tannins, and nicely integrated acidity. It's beautifully done and well worth drinking any time over the coming 10-12 years.

This gem from Cos d'Estournel is definitely worth looking at! Bright and fresh and bouncy! Red boysenberry fruit with tart cherries, anise, some savory spice and a hint of crunchy minerals. All with a very smooth and silky mouthfeel. The finish lingers and has a very nice tartness to it. So, you buy your Cos d'Estournel and cellar it. In the meantime, you can thoroughly enjoy the "G" on your dinner table tonight. It's too good to pass up!
Notes
90 points Neal Martin for Vinous: "The 2019 Goulée by Cos d'Estournel was bottled in March 2021. It has clearly maintained the fragrant bouquet that I noticed from barrel, with vivacious red cherries intermingling with cranberry and wild strawberry aromas, identical to the showing en primeur. The palate has firmed up a bit, turning more angular and crunchy, and there’s a slight flintiness to the finish that I like. This is a fine Goulée." (02/2022)
