After the barrel phase, it continues to evolve in the bottle, year after year. To fully appreciate the aromas of Cos d’Estournel wines, follow a few simple guidelines. Ideally, store the wines in a clean place at a temperature between 12 °C and 15 °C and with about 80 % humidity. Pagodes de Cos develops complex aromas that vary with each vintage and evolve over time. Proper service allows all these qualities to express themselves fully. - **Younger vintages (post‑2010)** should be decanted at least one hour before tasting. Oxygenation helps reveal each wine’s personality and intensity, allowing its full potential to emerge. - **Vintages prior to 2010** should be opened about an hour before service without decanting, letting their aromas unfurl gently. **Serving temperature:** 15 °C to 16 °C. As the wine warms in the glass, it progressively reveals its full aromatic spectrum and the most subtle, delicate nuances. ### Awards - 95/100 La Tulipe Rouge - 94/100 Jeff Leve, The Wine Cellar Insider - 93–94/100 James Suckling - 93–94/100 Wine Maniacs - 93/100 Vinum Wine Magazine - 93/100 Raffaele Vecchione – WinesCritic.com - 93/100 Jean‑Marc Quarin - 93/100 Giuseppe Lauria – Fine Wine Guide - 93/100 Jane Anson – Inside Bordeaux - 93/100 CellarTracker - 93/100 Adrian van Velsen – vvWine.ch - 92–94/100 Antonio Galloni (Vinous) - 92–93/100 Izak Litwar – Great Wines from Bordeaux - 92+/100 William Kelley (RobertParker.com) - 92/100 Tim Atkin - 91/100 Chris Kissack – Winedoctor - 16/20 JancisRobinson.com ### Allergen Information Contains sulfites. **SKU:** 108072
