Vinous

The 2025 Les Pagodes de Cos is a huge, somber wine. Blackberry, gravel, licorice, chocolate, incense and cloves hit the palate with serious intensity. Ample and quite dense, the 2025 is super concentrated from start to finish. It's going to need a few years to shed some of its considerable baby fat. This is a gorgeous Pagodes. 04/2026

Vinous

The 2025 Les Pagodes de Cos is fragrant and floral on the nose, with violet and iris petals, and light iodine aromas infusing the black fruit. The palate is medium-bodied, with silky tannins on the entry, very harmonious, with blue fruit and black pepper towards the sensual finish. This will require three or four years in bottle but should mature well over 15 to 18 years. 05/2026

The 2025 Les Pagodes de Cos is shaping up beautifully, wafting from the glass with notes of blackberries, cassis and licorice framed by a touch of toasty oak. Medium- to full-bodied, fleshy and supple, with good mid-palate density, sweet tannins and a lively core of fruit, it's a blend of 62% Merlot, 35% Cabernet Sauvignon and the rest Petit Verdot and Cabernet Franc. 04/2026

A blend of 62% Merlot, 35% Cabernet Sauvignon, 2% Petit Verdot, and 1% Cabernet Franc that's being raised in 20% new barrels, the 2025 Pagodes De Cos is the second wine of this terrific château and is a gorgeous effort that's the equivalent of many a Grand Vin. Ripe currants, cassis, spring flowers, graphite, and smoky oak all define the nose, and on the palate, it's medium to full-bodied, with a layered, rounded mouthfeel, beautiful balance, and nicely integrated acidity. It checks in at a pH of 3.62 and will shine in its youth yet also age gracefully. 05/2026

A juicy and velvety second wine of Cos, with spices and hazelnuts that highlight the dark fruit in this wine. It’s medium- to full-bodied with juicy fruit and a flavorful finish. Shows structure, but is integrated and polished. 55% cabernet sauvignon, 34% merlot and 11% cabernet franc. 04/2026
