WINEMAKER NOTES
2009 Chateau Cos d’Estournel – Opulence and Structure from Saint Estephe
The 2009 Chateau Cos d’Estournel stands as one of the most celebrated modern vintages from this iconic Left Bank estate. Situated in Saint Estephe, Cos d’Estournel is known for wines that bridge power and refinement, and the exceptional 2009 growing season allowed the terroir’s richness and structure to shine with remarkable clarity.
Tasting Notes
The nose is expansive, offering blackcurrant, plum, exotic spice, and graphite, layered with subtle floral and smoky notes. On the palate, the wine is full-bodied and velvety, delivering dense dark fruit framed by polished tannins and balanced acidity. The finish is long and resonant, marked by depth, freshness, and a distinctly savory edge that continues to evolve with time.
Winemaking & Vineyard Details
The blend is led by Cabernet Sauvignon, complemented by Merlot and smaller portions of Cabernet Franc and Petit Verdot. Vineyard parcels benefit from deep gravel and clay soils, contributing to both concentration and structure. Vinification is conducted with precision, followed by aging in French oak barrels to integrate texture and aromatic complexity.
Investment & Collectibility
The 2009 vintage is widely regarded as a benchmark release for Cos d’Estournel, with sustained demand among collectors and strong performance on the secondary market. Its combination of critical acclaim, richness, and long-term aging capacity positions it as a cornerstone wine for serious Bordeaux portfolios.
Vintage Insights & Accolades
The 2009 Bordeaux vintage delivered ripe fruit and exceptional balance across the Left Bank. At Cos d’Estournel, these conditions resulted in a wine of scale, polish, and enduring appeal.

Packaging & Temperature-Sensitive Shipping
To protect wine quality, all orders are packed in EPS foam shippers, with gel packs when necessary.
Wine is temperature-sensitive and may be affected by excessive heat, freezing temperatures, or significant temperature fluctuations during transit. During periods of elevated temperature risk, we strongly recommend selecting Next Day Air service whenever available.
Customers requesting shipment during warm or cold weather conditions must review and agree to our Temperature Protection & Shipping Policy. By requesting shipment, customers acknowledge and accept the risks associated with temperature exposure, carrier delays, failed delivery attempts, and other transit-related conditions outside of Angry Wine Merchant's control.
For OWC (Original Wooden Case) orders, bottles are removed and shipped in foam for safety. The wooden case ships separately via Ground unless otherwise requested.
Weather Holds & Free Storage
In periods of extreme heat or cold, we reserve the right to delay shipment until safer conditions return. Customers may also request that we hold an order for future shipment.
We offer complimentary temperature-controlled storage for up to 6 months from the date of purchase. Select the "Hold for Weather" option at checkout and we will coordinate shipping at a later date.
Insurance
We provide free shipping insurance for loss or visible damage during transit, subject to carrier terms and conditions.
Shipping insurance does not cover deterioration in wine condition resulting from heat exposure, freezing temperatures, temperature fluctuations, carrier delays, missed delivery attempts, carrier holds, or other temperature-related transit conditions. Please review our Temperature Protection & Shipping Policy for more information.
Adult Signature Required
All shipments of alcohol require an adult signature (21+) upon delivery. Carriers will not release packages without adult authorization.
Customers are responsible for ensuring that an eligible adult is available to receive the shipment on the first delivery attempt. Additional charges may apply for re-delivery, redirection, failed delivery attempts, returned shipments, or reshipment.
