A 2nd respected wine label of Cos D’Estournel (a 2nd Growth of the 1855 Grand Cru Classification) with a blend of Cab Sauv at 44%, Merlot at 46,2%, Cab Franc at 5,8% and Petit Verdot at 4% brings out an opulent, intense, deep, yet refined and properly-balanced red. The V’15 is perfectly poised, seductive, and extremely enjoyable. Eruptive fruity, with powerful aromatics in baked red fruits. The level of ripeness and raisins in notably persistent. Pagodes V’15 seats among my top favorites from Saint-Estèphe sub-appellation that will never disappoints and/or falls short of expectations. Cheers! — 7 months ago
The nose does not present much. A slight hint of apricot but you really have to dig deep to search it out. The pallet on the other hand is very pronounced. Slightly dry and acidic the fruit is lemon and apricot with a hint of straw. The finish of apricot lingers. A bargain at 15.98 from Wine Exchange. — a year ago

Spicy, white pepper and white flower nose at first. Gradually becomes papaya, dried apricots, pineapple and tons of honey. Puligny like. Very nice! 2009 vintage — 9 years ago

Vintage 2019 | 375 ml | 65% Cabernet Sauvignon, 25% Merlot, 10% Petit Verdot | one hour in decanter | Cedar and pure chocolate, that mineral strictness that is typical for Saint Estephe, interesting smell, strict taste with powerfull tannins. Paired with rumpsteak and zucchini tarts. Lots of potential. — 9 months ago
The vines of Lilian-Ladouys are found a stone's throw from the Graves of Cos d'Estournel and the Chateau Lafite-Rothschild. Deep Ruby red color, with inky tones, blend of mostly Merlot, with Cabernet Sauvignon and Petit Verdot, aged in French oak for 15 months, aromas of black and blue fruit, smoky notes and soft spice. On the palate flavors of blackberry and plum with toasty oak flavors, full body with fine tannins, long finish ending with earthy menthol mineral character. — a year ago
2019 vintage. Previously a label for the second wine of Château Léoville-Poyferré, but a separate estate since the 2009 vintage. Moulin Riche is a 20 hectares vineyard in one block, planted with 48% Cabernet Sauvignon, 29% Merlot and an unusually high Petit Verdot percentage of 23%. This 2019 is a blend of 69% Cabernet Sauvignon, 20% Merlot and 11% Petit Verdot. It features an attractive nose with cassis, blackberry and violets. It is definitely made in the Léoville-Poyferré style (the sexiest of the 3 Léovilles) with its lush ripe fruit and perfectly ripe tannic backbone. It would be interesting to compare this to the second wine of Léoville-Poyferré. Should age well, but very attractive already. Abv. 14%. — 4 years ago
