Pagodes des Cos 2016

Tasting notes:

From one of the best, if not the best vintage in the last 20 years, well-known across the UK as "the Maharaja of Bordeaux," this Pagodes is supple and elegant, with a silky texture and finely velvety tannins. Layers of dark fruit are lifted by freshness, leading to a poised and persistent finish. Compelling and unparalleled quality for the price.

Producer description:

Les Pagodes de Cos is the second wine of Château Cos d’Estournel, crafted from a selection of younger vines and parcels that offer an earlier-drinking expression of the estate. Over the years, it has become one of the most refined and consistent second wines of Saint Estèphe.
