This is the second wine from Saint-Estèphe’s prestigious Cos d’Estournel, made with some of the same fruit used in their renowned Grand Cru.
Les Pagodes de Cos has a higher percentage of Merlot than most Haut-Médocs, giving it a luscious, plump, rounded texture.A blend of 50% Cabernet Sauvignon, 46.5% Merlot, 3% Petit Verdot and 0.5% Cabernet Franc.
Tasting note: Deep garnet-purple colour and opens with notions of warm cassis, black cherries and smoked meats giving way to charcoal, underbrush and cloves plus a waft of new leather. Medium to full-bodied, it fills the palate with generous black fruits and some compelling red fruit sparks, supported by ripe, grainy tannins and finishing long and spicy.
Food match: Game Pie or Charcuterie platter.
"A red with very deep and intense fruit character, yet rich tannins to back it all up. Full-bodied, layered and powerful. The second wine of Cos d’Estournel is serious again in 2016. Try from 2025." 94/100 James Suckling.
