Heiner Lobenberg om:
Les Pagodes de Cos (2. Wein) 2016

94
/100

Lobenberg: Sort. Fed, frodig brombærnæse, blåbær, cassis, hyldebær, mørk chokolade, tobak, en tæt turbo-version af en Emilio Moro fra Ribera del Duero. Dette overvældende (udtrykket er virkelig rammende) indtryk fortsætter i munden, og krydssammenligningen med Cos 1-vinen, der står ved siden af, gør det klart, hvor meget Pagode ligner. Så rig og alligevel med en mineralsk struktur, lækker sød frugt og alligevel faste tanniner, ikke så smøragtig i frugten som en spansk vin, næsten mere californisk. Så imponerende. Men er det Bordeaux? Det er ligegyldigt, det er stadig noget vildt noget, og for folk, der gerne vil vide, hvordan Cos smager uden at have 200 euro, er det den helt rigtige erstatning.

Suckling om: Les Pagodes de Cos (2. Wein)

A red with very deep and intense fruit character, yet rich tannins to back it all up. Full-bodied, layered and powerful. The second wine of Cos d’Estournel is serious again in 2016. Try from 2025.

Jeb Dunnuck om: Les Pagodes de Cos (2. Wein)

The second wine of the estate is no slouch. The 2016 Pagodes de Cos has some grand vin character in its cassis and graphite aromas and flavors. Showing more incense, graphite, and hints of flowers with air time, this medium to full-bodied, rounded, beautifully textured effort is well worth a case purchase. Drink this beauty, the equal to most estates’ top wines, while you wait on the grand vin to come around.

Decanter om: Les Pagodes de Cos (2. Wein)

Proof that in the great vintages, the smart money should be seeking out second wines of classified growths for wines that are guaranteed to deliver. This is packed with spice, chocolate, opulent in texture with an unmissable gourmet edge, given definition by a precise edge of cassis bud and liquorice, and a better balance overall than the 2010 Pagodes, although both are delicious wines. 0.5% Cabernet Franc completes the blend.

Parker om: Les Pagodes de Cos (2. Wein)

The 2016 Les Pagodes de Cos is blended of 50% Cabernet Sauvignon, 46.5% Merlot, 3% Petit Verdot and 0.5% Cabernet Franc. It has a deep garnet-purple color and opens with notions of warm cassis, black cherries and smoked meats giving way to scents of charcoal, underbrush and cloves plus a waft of new leather. Medium to full-bodied, it fills the palate with generous black fruits and some compelling red fruit sparks, supported by ripe, grainy tannins and finishing long and spicy.

Galloni om: Les Pagodes de Cos (2. Wein)

The 2016 Les Pagodes de Cos has a wondertul bouquet of vibrant, expressive red berry fruit, strawberry and raspberry, conveying a tangible sense of mineralité and tension; the new oak is very well integrated here. The balanced palate offers fine-boned tannins and very well judged acidity. Utterly harmonious, with a caressing and beautifully poised finish. This is a top-class Saint-Estèphe that will age with panache.
