1996 Les Pagodes de Cos

[oostexan]

Gotta love Costco. I bought a pack of dress socks, a golf shirt, and this 1996 Bordeaux. All at the same store. Nutty.

Decanted and started tasting at two hours, but wine started getting most interesting at three. So next time I will plan further ahead.

Ruby in the glass with no bricking. Nice nose of plums, leather, and veggies - specifically bell pepper. Good smooth texture with plums and spice. Medium complexity. Finish is good but a touch short. Enjoyable wine.

Paid 35 and will buy a couple more to have an enjoyable mature Bordeaux in the cellar.
