Pagodes de Cos 2022 – Saint Estèphe

The nose is fruity, fresh, concentrated, spicy and offers darkness and depth. It expresses notes of boysenberry, blackcurrant and more slightly – camphor associated with touches of bigarreau cherry, violet, lily, as well as discreet hints of clove, star anise, cornflower and a touch of Sichuan pepper. The palate is fruity, fresh, mineral, elegant, distinguished, tense and offers power, delicacy and straightness. It expresses notes of pulpy/juicy blackberry, fresh/pulp blackcurrant and more slightly – cornflower associated with touches of fresh cherry as well as hints of small pulpy blue fruits, hints of toasted, nutmeg and a fine hint of cardamom and crushed almond. It tempts you. Good length and definition. Silky, fresh, delicate, deep and concentrated. A little maceration side. Nice work on the good bitters, especially on the finish.
