Score 93/100 · Drink 1973-2033, William Kelley, Wine Advocate, Dec 2023

Impressively powerful and concentrated, both for a wine of this age and for this inherently suave, charming vintage, this Danish-bottled 1953 Cos d'Estournel offers up rich aromas of macerated red fruits, exotic spices, sweet soil tones, orange rind and pipe tobacco, followed by a medium to full-bodied, deep and layered palate that's surprisingly muscular and structured.
