Tasting notes
Lovely nose, which is very alive and very classic – complete, complex, savoury and lengthy. Not the lengthiest, but there is genuine Bordeaux style here, and it is great for drinking now. (RH)

Tasted blind. Mild nose that’s well integrated. Well mannered and accessible already. Lots of pleasure and sweetness. The tannins are well managed but are not there in abundance. (JR)
Medium to deep garnet-purple in color, the 2015 Les Pagodes de Cos has a rather fragrant nose of florals and earthy notions over a core of warm black fruits, red currants and cherry cordial plus a waft of sautéed herbs. The medium-bodied mouth is finely crafted, refreshing and soft with well-played tannins.
