Red Wine from Cotes De Castillon

jamessuckling.com, 94 points: This has a captivating interplay of depth and elegance. On the nose, it has very pure fresh raspberry and red plums set in a smoothly arranged, plush layered bed of ripe tannins that carry long blackberry and mulberry...

TheWineCellarInsider.com, 94 points: (JL92-94 points) Dark in color with an earthy, dark, red berry, licorice and stone personality, this wine is rich and powerful, yet softly textured, lush and silky on the palate. This is perhaps the best vintage yet for...

Robert Parker's Wine Advocate, 90 points: A beautiful success for a right bank 2002, the dedication and perfectionism of the Perses is evident in this medium to full-bodied, deep ruby/purple-tinged offering. Sweet aromas of mocha, black cherries, cassis, and...

Robert Parker's Wine Advocate, 90 points: A small vineyard cropped at 22 hectoliters per hectare has fashioned a blend of 80% Merlot and the rest Cabernet Sauvignon and Cabernet Franc. As usual, the 2007 Clos Les Lunelles is the most concentrated and biggest wine...

jamessuckling.com, 93 points: I love the aromas of blackberries and chocolate with flowers. Full body, soft and velvety tannins and a long and flavorful finish. Gorgeous red. Drink or hold.

Wine Spectator, 92 points: Toasty, with flashes of vanilla and mocha, but there’s fleshy plum sauce and currant preserve flavors at the core, along with lingering notes of anise and violet. Best from 2019 through 2025. — J.M.

Stephen Tanzer's IWC, 90 points: Good full ruby. Enticing aromas of boysenberry, black cherry, chocolate and spicy oak. Bright and juicy in the mouth, with lovely violet lift to the black fruit and herb flavors. Finishes very long and fresh: you can...

Wine Spectator, 95 points: (WS92-95 points) A bright sanguine note gives this a distinctive feel, while racy cassis and bitter cherry fruit fills in behind. Offers a long singed juniper note through the finish. A bit atypical in profile for...

Vinous, 92 points: (90-92) Once again, I was impressed with Louis Mitjavile's Domaine de L'Aurage. Dark, supple and expressive, the 2016 has a lot to offer. Succulent red cherry, red plum, rose petal, mint and sweet spice are all pushed...
