LES PAGODES DE COS 2018

Pagodes de Cos 2018

“Pure aromas of currants, plums, cherries and Spanish cedar follow through to a full body with super concentration of fruit, yet forever polished and long. A cylinder of wonderfully ripe fruit and tannin’s goes on for minutes. This needs at least three or four years to soften and begin to come together. Super second wine. Try after 2027.” – 95/100, James Suckling
