Note di degustazione
The famous Côtes de Castillon from the Perse family, this wine is normally the reference point for just how terrific wines from this satellite appellation of St.-Emilion can be. The 2005 offers an impressive saturated purple color, stunning concentration, richness, a full-bodied mouthfeel, a beautiful, majestic texture, chalky minerality, and loads of floral notes intermixed with blackberry, cassis and spice. This is a sensational, over-achieving, fabulous Côtes de Castillon to drink over the next two decades.

Bright, full ruby-red. Very ripe, wild aromas of black raspberry, truffle, game and beefsteak tomato. Lush, fat, sweet and impressively rich, with explosive dark fruit, mocha, leather and meat flavors. In a distinctly full-blown style, but with considerable soil character. Today the tannins are virtually invisible and the finish shows terrific aromatic persistence, but I would not be at all surprised if this packed 2005 shuts down in the bottle. (ST)
Bright ruby-red. Nose shows a liqueur-like ripeness, with aromas of kirsch and tropical dark chocolate. Dense, rich and exotic, communicating the ripeness of the year. An outsized, chewy wine with slightly chunky tannins.
