A juicy and rich second wine from Cos with spices, minerals, nutmeg and fruit. Full body, chewy tannins and a fresh and pretty finish. Builds on the finish. Better in 2018.

This estate's second wine, the 2011 Les Pagodes de Cos reveals reasonably broad, round, black currant and black cherry fruit notes, medium body, surprisingly good texture and a soft finish. An attractive, plump effort, it will drink well for a decade. It mirrors its grander sibling as it is a blend of 65% Cabernet Sauvignon, 33% Merlot and the rest Petit Verdot.
