Jeb Dunnuck (94)The 2009 Pagodes De Cos is a blockbuster that I wish I had more of in the cellar. A blend of 69% Cabernet Sauvignon and the rest mostly Merlot (there’s a small amount of Petit Verdot) brought up in roughly 50% new French oak, its deep purple/plum color is followed by a smorgasbord of black raspberry and kirsch like fruits, spice box, dried flowers and licorice. With a huge mid-palate, sweet, sweet tannin, beautiful purity of fruit, and a great finish, it’s an incredibly sexy, satisfying second wine that will keep for another 10-15 years. |

Vinous - Antonio Galloni (87-90)Bright red cherry, plum, smoke, tobacco and earthy notes meld together in the 2013 Les Pagodes de Cos. This supple, textured wine offers plenty of near and medium-term appeal. This mid-weight, juicy wine is resonant and expressive. The 2013 Pagodes will drink well early because of its textural softness, but it also has enough depth to drink well for a number of years. Pagodes is 64% Cabernet Sauvignon, 28% Merlot, 4% Cabernet Franc and 4% Petit Verdot |

Vinous - Antonio Galloni (92)The 2014 Les Pagodes de Cos is racy and voluptuous from the outset. Dark stone fruit, chocolate, menthol, licorice and dark spices run through this succulent, textured Saint-Estèphe. The interplay of dense flavors from the dehydration of fruit by warm days and anticyclonic winds resulted in an unusually opulent second wine, made in a flamboyant, exotic style that is found in some wines of the northern Médoc in 2014. |
