2005 Clos l'Eglise, Cotes de Castillon, Bordeaux

One of the Castillon stars and an incredible value in 2005, this wine received 89-90 points 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."  The list price is $38.
