Château Cos d'Estournel
Les Pagodes de Cos Saint-Estéphe Red Bordeaux Blend
Drinking really well right now. Good grip and some dark fruit. Nicely finessed.

Cedar, vanilla, sweet tobacco, black cherry, blackcurrant, prune, violet, blackberries, anise, and smoke round out the nose and palate. A bit more closed on the nose than palate, which rounded out with fine tannins. Shorter finish than expected but overall a lovely match with ribeye.

In 2012 I hope it is not predictive as it was nice but nothing more. Deep red in color, nose full of raspberry, and other red fruits, a touch of black current, medium body, good acidity, dry finish. Not complex yet pleasant. My score 86, drink 2016-2022

Slightly young. But has some dark fruit, slight earthiness, leathery.

Another wonderful Bordeaux. Medium body with a crisp liberality and bright dark fruit. Age-worthy.
