One of the Castillon stars and an incredible value in 2005! 90-91 points Stephen Tanzer's Inernational Wine Cellar: "Full ruby-red. Ripe, complex nose melds cassis, kirsch, licorice, earth, mocha and truffle. Ripe, sexy and sweet, with lovely energy and a youthfully cool quality to the dark fruit and mineral flavors. Precise, powerful Cotes de Castillon wine, finishing with building tannins and considerable breadth. (No 2004 was made, as an employee broke into the winery on an off day shortly after the harvest, draining the tanks and setting fire to the offices.) " (May/June 07) According to Wine Spectator: "Very aromatic, with blackberry and flowers, following through to a medium body, with fine tannins and a fresh finish. Best after 2009." (Web only, 2008) And, from Robert Parker: "One of the least expensive wines produced by Gerard Perse, the 2005 Clos l’Eglise (70% Merlot and the rest Cabernet Sauvignon and Cabernet Franc) exhibits notes of sweet cranberries, jammy black cherries and strawberries, crushed rocks, and flowers. With a dense purple color, medium body, loads of fruit, and a soft, round mouthfeel and finish, it can be enjoyed over the next 5-6 years." (08/08)
