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.

1996 £95.00 RP96

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

Wine Spectator -
Has notes of blackberry, with Indian spices and green tea. Full-bodied, with velvety tannins, a silky texture and a medium finish. Balanced and very refined. A beautiful young wine - James Sutcliffe

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.
