Les Pagodes de Cos 2000 is the second wine of Château Cos d`Estournel, produced from younger vines on the same prestigious Saint-Estèphe gravel as the Grand Vin. The 2000 vintage is a landmark year in Bordeaux, yielding wines with immense fruit concentration and a firm structural backbone. This release has matured into a sophisticated display of blackcurrant, tobacco, cedar and a hint of exotic spice. The tannins have resolved into a supple and integrated texture, though the wine still possesses a remarkable level of energy.
