92+ 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. - Robert M. Parker, Jr.
