LES PAGODES de COS
St. Estephe
2nd Wine of Chateau
Cos d'Estournel
RP -
Their second wine,
the 2012 Les Pagodes de Cos (60% Cabernet Sauvignon, 40% Merlot),
exhibits soft tannins, a deep ruby/purple colour, sweet plum, black
cherry fruit, a round, generous mouthfeel and excellent purity and
depth. This is a very up-front and consumer-friendly second wine to
drink over the next decade. |

LES PAGODES de COS
St. Estephe
2nd Wine of Chateau
Cos d'Estournel
RP -
Probably the
best second wine ever made at Cos (although the 2009 should not be
discounted), the 2010 Les Pagodes de Cos is a blend of 62% Cabernet
Sauvignon and 38% Merlot finishing at 14% natural alcohol. This wine
exhibits beautiful, silky tannins as well as sweet, rich mulberry and
black currant fruit with hints of spring flowers, licorice and subtle
toast. A full-bodied, opulent and -ideal- second wine, most people who
have tasted it would probably agree that it is actually better than many
vintages of Cos d'Estournel from the 1960s and 1970s. |

LAFON ROCHET
St Estephe
RP -
The 2014 Lafon
Rochet has a very attractive, slightly floral bouquet with raspberry and
crushed strawberry fruit, a touch of rose petals lending this a feminine
allure. The palate is medium-bodied with supple, ripe tannins. This
feels quite dense in the mouth, a welcome pinch of white pepper and
cedar lending complexity to the finish with tart cherries on the
aftertaste. This is probably more forward than other Saint Estephe
wines, but it should give 15-20 years of pleasure.

LAFON ROCHET
St Estephe
RP -
The opaque
purple-hued 2012 Lafon Rochet reveals plenty of incense, blueberry,
black raspberry and spring flower notes intermixed with a hint of forest
floor. Rich and medium to full-bodied, it is a complete wine from
beginning to end. It may tighten up once it’s in bottle, but this
wine has 15 or more years of cellaring potential.
