Domaine de Saint Cosme directly from the property
96/100 James Suckling
For such a hot, dry vintage and such a full-bodied and concentrated wine, this has a gracefulness that is very impressive. The plush tannins are beautifully integrated on the front- and mid-palates, climbing out of the depths in the stunning finish. I love the damson-plum aroma and touch of licorice woven into all of this. From organically grown grapes from vines planted in 1902. Drinkable now but best from 2026.
Tasting of the cuvée:
This is one of the most beautiful cuvées of the Domaine St Cosme. It flirts with perfection. A purple/ruby color with a stunning bouquet of creme de cassis, kirsch liqueur, scorched earth and loads of violet and floral nuances, it hits the palate with its richness, well-constructed tannins and a hell of a finish. There's no shortage of tannins and it should be left to age for 4-5 years in bottle. It is one of the great cuvées of the domain.
