Tasting note: 2010 Les Pagodes de Cos: Possibly the finest Pagodes the estate has produced, as Jean-Guillaume Prats said, this 2010 is better than many vintages of Cos d’Estournel produced in the sixties and seventies. Forty-five percent of the production made it into this blend of 62% Cabernet Sauvignon and 38% Merlot that achieved 14.1% alcohol naturally. Plump and fat with an abundant concentration of black fruits as well as outstanding intensity, purity and texture, this beauty should drink well for 10-15 years. (90-93pts. Robert Parker)

Tasted: May 2011
Score: 90-93
Drink: N/A

Tasting note: Love the nose to this wine, with spices and berries and currants. Full and very refined with super silky tannins and a long long finish. So refined. Second wine of Cos. (92-93pts. James Suckling)

Tasted: Apr. 2011
Score: 92-93
Drink: N/A

Tasting note: From an assemblage of 62% Cabernet Sauvignon, 38% Merlot, this is a brawny, focused and straight forward style of wine. In the mouth, the wine is tannic, fresh and filled with dark berries. Prats called this vintage a severe style of Pagodes that requires time. (90-92pts. Jeff Leve, Winecellarinsider.com)

Tasted: Apr. 2011
Score: 90-92
Drink: N/A

Tasting note: This is sleek along the edges and dense in the middle, with ample crushed cherry, red currant and melted red licorice notes. A bright floral edge chimes in on the long finish. An impressive second wine. A little more Merlot than usual (62 percent Cabernet Sauvignon and 38 percent Merlot). Tasted non-blind. (92-95pts. JM, Wine Spectator)
