James Suckling 93-94/100The polished and creamy texture here is extremely attractive, with blueberry, blackcurrant and crushed-stone aromas and flavors. It’s medium-bodied with linear tannins, showing polish and finesse. Creamy mouth-feel. Second wine of Cos. 12.9% alcohol. 51% cabernet sauvignon, 45% merlot, 2% cabernet franc and 2% petit verdot.
Neal Martin Vinous 90-92/100
The 2023 Les Pagodes de Cos representing 47% of the volume of the château has a plush crushed strawberry cassis and violet-scented bouquet that displays some prudent use of oak. The palate is svelte and silky in texture and harmonious with a judicious pinch of white pepper and graphite. A nicely poised persistent finish wraps things up in style. This is a classy Les Pagodes that should give 12 to 15 years of drinking pleasure.
Antonio Galloni Vinous 92-94/100
The 2023 Les Pagodes de Cos makes a strong statement out of the gate. A blast of intense dark fruit leather spice menthol game licorice dried herbs and chocolate infuses the palate with remarkable textural intensity. Ample and resonant in the glass with fabulous balance Les Pagodes is exceptionally fine in 2023. The long sustained finish is a thing of beauty.
The Wine Advocate 91-93/100
The 2023 Les Pagodes de Cos has turned out beautifully offering up aromas of cassis orange zest vine smoke and incense followed by a medium to full-bodied fleshy and polished palate with a deep core of fruit supple tannins and a lively mouthwatering finish. It's a blend of 51% Cabernet Sauvignon 45% Merlot and the balance Cabernet Franc and Petit Verdot.
