Cos d'Estournel Les Pagodes de Cos 2018

Exuberant and expressive, the 2018 Les Pagodes de Cos shows impressive depth for a second wine. Black cherry and violet notes leap from the glass with appealing immediacy. The palate delivers good concentration with grippy tannins that add structure without overwhelming the fruit. Fresh acidity keeps everything lively through a persistent finish. Give it 2-3 years to fully integrate.
