Goulée by Cos d’Estournel brings to mind a light sea breeze, refreshing eucalyptus and the tantalizing scents of juicy, ripe berries and rich cacao beans… Evoking an invigorating afternoon spent on the water with friends or a delicious meal in an oceanfront bistro softly lit by the glowing rays of the sun, Goulée by Cos d’Estournel is decidedly untamed, a bold and expressive wine.
Refined and elegant, the Cabernet Sauvignon planted in 2012 has begun to fully reveal itself in the structure of Goulée by Cos d’Estournel. Located in the northernmost reaches of the Medoc, the terroir of Goulée reacted more extremely to weather conditions, resulting in a vintage with great energy.
Fruity aromas are very present, along with a lovely balance between peppery, mineral and saline notes on one hand and roundness and sheer pleasure on the other.

"Ripe plum, mushroom and cedar aromas follow through to a medium to full body, firm and silky tannins and a flavorful finish. Dense and very pretty. " -Monday, February 13, 2017

" The 2014 Goulee by Cos d'Estournel (to give it its full title) has a crisp, smoky, blackberry and cedar-scented bouquet that is well defined and displays good intensity. The palate is medium-bodied with grainy tannin, a fine line of acidity, supple in the mouth with blackberry, cedar and a dab of dark chocolate on the finish. This is better than earlier vintages and should drink well for several years." - Reviewed by Neal Martin on Apr 01, 2017

Cos d'Estournel的Goulée讓人想起輕盈的海風、清新的桉樹氣息，以及多汁成熟漿果和豐富可可豆的誘人香氣……讓人回想起與朋友一起在水上度過的充滿活力的下午，或是在海濱小酒館享用美味佳餚時，柔和的陽光將一切照亮。Goulée by Cos d'Estournel毫無束縛，是一款大膽而富有表現力的葡萄酒。
精緻而優雅，2012年種植的赤霞珠已經在Goulée by Cos d'Estournel的結構中完全展現出來。位於梅多克最北部的Goulée的風土對天氣條件的反應更加極端，因此產出了一款充滿活力的年份。
果香非常突出，同時在辛辣、礦物和鹹味的注釋與圓潤、純粹的愉悅之間取得了美妙的平衡。

"成熟的李子、蘑菇和雪松的香氣貫穿整個酒體，單寧結實而柔滑，回味悠長。又濃又漂亮。 "-2017年2月13日

" 2014年由Cos d'Estournel釀造的Goulee(這是它的全稱)有一種清脆、煙燻、黑莓和雪松香味，酒體清晰，酒體強烈。酒體適中，單寧顆粒狀，酸度細膩，入口柔順，黑莓、雪松和少許黑巧克力的餘味撲鼻而過。這款酒比以前的年份更好，可以飲用好幾年。" -2017年4月1日由 Neal Martin 品鑒
