Reviewed January 2022Floral and perfumed fruit straight away on the nose, smells so inviting with black cherries and plum notes. The texture is sweet, juicy and succulent but with lashings of dark, almost bitter chocolate that marry the plush black fruits so well. On the darker side, with a pleasant, cooling menthol freshness. Good impact and character. (GH)

Plump blackberry fruits, velvety texture and evident tannins. An excellent wine that has sapidity and punch - a great combination that makes this extremely successful. 4% Petit Verdot completes the blend. (for Decanter)

The 2019 Les Pagodes de Cos is powerful and explosive, with real energy that builds over time. Black cherry, menthol, licorice, chocolate and dried herbs are all kicked up. In 2019, the Pagodes offers striking power, breadth and resonance. It's a gorgeous wine in every way. (AG)

Jeb Dunnuck
The second wine of Cos D'Estournel, the 2019 Pagodes De Cos is a blend of 55% Cabernet Sauvignon, 36% Merlot, 5% Cabernet Franc, with the balance Petit Verdot. It's classic Saint-Estèphe on the nose with its pure black and blue fruits as well as notes of damp earth, sappy tobacco, cedar pencil, and graphite. This carries to a medium-bodied, elegant 2019 with impeccable balance, ultra-fine tannins, no hard edges, and a great finish. The balance and purity are spot on, and this will drink nicely for over two decades. It's not far off the style of the 2018 and certainly in the same ballpark qualitatively.
