Antonio Galloni Januar 2019:
The 2016 Les Pagodes de Cos is matured in 30% new oak. It has an intense bouquet for a
deuxième vin. featuring blackberry. bilberry. light cedar and graphite aromas. quite Pauillac in style. The medium-bodied palate is fresh and vigorous though not deep. displaying fine tannin and exerting a gentle grip. There is a symmetry about this Les Pagodes. which is longer than other vintages. with just a hint of graphite and cracked black pepper on the finish. Excellent. 13.02% alcohol.
Lisa Perrotti Brown im November 2018:
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.
