2005 Sainte Colombe, Cotes de Castillon, Bordeaux

This bargain-priced wine received 88 points from Robert Parker:  "One of the least expensive wines from Gerard Perse's three Cotes de Castillon estates, the 2005 Ste-Colombe is unquestionably the softest and most immediately accessible.  Its dark ruby color is followed by a concoction of ripe, sweet black currant and cherry fruit, incense, spring flowers, and spice.  Drink this richly fruited 2005 over the next 4-5 years."  The list price is $13.
