Jane Anson: 91 Punkte
"Grilled and smoked aromatics on the opening, this has skilful construction, no question that the austerity is more marked than in recent years of this beautiful wine, but they have teased out cassis bud and rose petals, touch of mint leaf and bitter chocolate. Harvest September 23 to October 7, 54% of overall production. New label and bottle for this vintage to celebrate the 30th anniversary of Pagodes. 29hl/h yield." (04/2025)
Falstaff: 91 Punkte
"Feinduftig, kühler Kamin, rote Beerenfrucht, Johannisbeeren, subtile Röstaromen; seidenweicher Auftakt, packt dann zu, markante Säure, gradlinig, präzis, deutlich schlanker und mit fast schon burgundischem Ausdruck; langer Abgang. Wird früh Spass machen." (04/2025)
The Drinks Business: 91-93+ Punkte
"Richer, fuller, spicier and less ample in frame that G de Cos but that gives this more vertical range and a greater sense of depth and profundity. Damson, cassis and assorted plums. Sapid and intensely juicy. A little gentle aeration in the mouth releases swirls and eddies of dark berry fruits that circle and swirl along and even between the layers. Somewhere between silk and cashmere and very true to its Cos identity. Quite succulent and tactile but luxuriant too." - Colin Hay (04/2025)
