Château covers 170 acres separated from Château Lafite, along the southern edge, by a stream. A blend of mostly Cabernet Sauvignon & Merlot. Rich berry aromas with floral and spices, very pleasant. On the palate blueberry and blackberry flavors with licorice and toasty oak notes. Long rich finish on soft juicy tannins, drinking well and still has room to age. Very Nice second label!

Tannins have softened but still lend a nice structure, tasted angular rather than round. Dark red fruit, blackberries, relatively fresh. Graphite and a good mix of spices, cinnamon stick. Medium finish. @ La Tete d’Or

A 2nd respected wine label of Cos D’Estournel (a 2nd Growth of the 1855 Grand Cru Classification) with a blend of Cab Sauv at 44%, Merlot at 46,2%, Cab Franc at 5,8% and Petit Verdot at 4% brings out an opulent, intense, deep, yet refined and properly-balanced red. The V’15 is perfectly poised, seductive, and extremely enjoyable. Eruptive fruity, with powerful aromatics in baked red fruits. The level of ripeness and raisins in notably persistent. Pagodes V’15 seats among my top favorites from Saint-Estèphe sub-appellation that will never disappoints and/or falls short of expectations. Cheers!
