2010 Pagodes de Cos, St Estèphe, Bordeaux

62% Cabernet Sauvignon, 38% Merlot.

Sweet, soft, succulent, juicy, sexy, round, joyous, this Pagodes seems a tad more fun than its big, more sensible, yet profound brother. I don't mean to make it sound frivolous and not the dense and really gorgeous glass that it is. It's far from it, but it's like a GT Continental convertible versus a Bentley Arnage; it is a little less serious and just a tad flash! This is certainly the best Pagodes we have tried to date. Scrumptious!
