Chateau Cos d´Estournel - Les Pagodes de Cos 2024

FALSTAFF: "Tiefdunkles Rubingranat, opaker Kern, violette Reflexe, zarte Randaufhellung. Zart nach Gewürznelken, Cassis, Brombeeren und kandierten Orangenzesten. Saftig, frische Herzkirschen, zart nach Zwetschken, frisch strukturiert, mineralisch-salzig, zarte Süße im Abgang, balanciert und gut entwickelt."

ANSON: "Grilled and smoked aromatics on the opening, this has skilful construction, no question that the austerity is more marked than in recent years of this beautiful wine, but they have teased out cassis bud and rose petals, touch of mint leaf and bitter chocolate. Harvest September 23 to October 7, 54% of overall production. New label and bottle for this vintage to celebrate the 30th anniversary of Pagodes. 29hl/h yield."

THE WINE ADVOCATE: "The 2024 Les Pagodes de Cos wafts from the glass with aromas of dark berries, licorice and nicely integrated oak. Medium to full-bodied, polished and suave, it's impressively rich and layered for the vintage, with beautifully integrated tannins and acidity."
