Les Pagodes de Cos
St. Estephe
RP -
The second wine,
the 2005 Les Pagodes de Cos, is already delicious. Offering plenty of
cedar, cappuccino, and black cherry notes in a medium-bodied, seamless
style with no hard edges, it will provide plenty of pleasure over the
next decade. |

Les Pagodes de Cos
St. Estephe
RP -
The second wine
of Cos d'Estournel, the excellent, fruit-driven Les Pagodes de Cos
possesses a dark ruby/purple colour, sweet tannin, medium body, and much
of the character of its bigger sister, but less tannin and density.

Cos d'Estournel
St. Estephe
RP -
A beautiful example
of the vintage, proprietor Michel Reybier and his top-notch winemaker,
Jean-Guillaume Prats, have fashioned an exceptional wine displaying a
dense ruby/purple colour as well as a sweet perfume of boysenberries,
black currants, cherries, pain grille, roasted herbs, and liquorice.
Medium-bodied with impressive density for the vintage, sweet tannin, and
outstanding richness and length. |

Cos d'Estournel
St. Estephe
Wine Spectator -
Absolutely gorgeous
on the nose, with currants, blackberries and freshly cut flowers.
Full-bodied, with ultrafine tannins and a solid core of fruit. This goes
on and on on the palate. The essence of class and refinement.
Relatively good value, considering the superb quality. No better Cos
since 1989. |

Cos d'Estournel
St. Estephe
RP -
A fabulous Cos
d'Estournel, along with the 1995, the 1996 is the finest wine produced
at this estate since the sumptuous 1990, and it represents the essence
of Cos d'Estournel.
From its saturated black/ruby/purple colour, to its knock-out nose of
Asian spices, liquorice, tobacco-tinged cassis fruit, and plum-like jam,
this full-bodied, extraordinarily pure wine will enjoy an immensely
impressive future. Approximately 66% of the crop made it into the final
blend, which includes a slightly higher percentage of Cabernet Sauvignon
than usual (65% Cabernet Sauvignon and 35% Merlot).
It is a massive example of Cos, but neither heavy nor overbearing in
view of its immense size. |

Cos d'Estournel
St. Estephe
RP -
A wine of
extraordinary intensity and accessibility, the 1995 Cos d'Estournel is a
sexier, more hedonistic offering than the muscular, backward 1996.
Opulent, with forward aromatics (gobs of black fruits intermixed with
toasty pain grille scents and a boatload of spice), this terrific Cos
possesses remarkable intensity, full body, and layers of jammy fruit
nicely framed by the wine's new oak. |

Lafon Rochet
St Estephe
RP-
A big time sleeper
of the vintage, the noteworthy 2004 Lafon-Rochet boasts an
inky/blue/purple colour, sweet aromas of crème de cassis intermixed with
smoke, liquorice, and toasty new oak, a ripe, medium to full-bodied
style, sweet tannin, and loads of flavour as well as depth.

Lafon Rochet
St Estephe
RP-
A sleeper of the
vintage, the dense blue/purple-coloured 2003 Lafon-Rochet exhibits
plenty of blackberry, cassis and graphite along with a touch of toasty
new oak. The wine is more backward than expected, but it possesses
full-bodied, concentrated flavours as well as good elegance, purity, and
overall equilibrium. This is a long-distance runner.

Lafon Rochet
St Estephe
RP-
One of the better
wines (and also reasonably priced) to emerge from this property over
recent years, this dense ruby/purple-coloured wine shows a complex nose
of earth, underbrush, creosote, crème de cassis, and dried herbs.
Sporting a new yellow/orange label that matches the dramatic paint job
on the chateau itself, the wine has a deep ruby/purple colour, medium to
full body, fine ripeness as well as purity, and moderate tannin in the
finish.
