The dark purple-colored 2006 possesses ripe, chocolaty, black currant fruit interwoven with hints of licorice and underbrush, medium to full body, and rugged, elevated tannins as well as noticeable new oak in the finish. While it is currently in a disjointed stage, there is plenty to like in the bottle. Anticipated maturity: 2014-2026.
Gerard Perses tiny vineyard was cropped at 26 hectoliters per hectare, and the final blend was 90% Merlot and 10% Cabernet Franc (14.5% alcohol). It boasts great intensity, a dense purple color, and beautiful aromas of sweet mulberries, black cherries, cedar, crushed rocks, and white chocolate as well as a chalky character (which gives the wine superb minerality). The wine is expansively flavored, and the tannins are remarkably sweet and well-integrated. An atypical blockbuster for the 2007 vintage, it should drink beautifully for 15-20 years.
Possesses copious quantities of creme de cassis, licorice, smoke, and minerals. With good precision, lively acidity, wonderful purity and elegance, it may represent a modern-day clone of the brilliant 1955 fashioned by charismatic proprietor, Jean-Michel Cazes', father. The 2005 will require 3-5 years of cellaring, and should evolve for 20-25 years. 91 pts. - Parker
90 RATING! RP Silky in texture, dripping with ripe plum and beef juices, and loaded with saline, savory, smoky, and faintly bitter herbal notes, it finishes with richness and grip astonishing for its price.
87 WS Medium-bodied, offering a ripe, spicy aroma and pretty violet notes to the juicy berry, plum and cherry flavors. Hints of ripe melon and red peach chime in on the finish. Drink now. 6,000 cases made.
Fine lace and silk are the words most often associated with this wine. Bright, intense colour and complex aromas evoking violet, black cherry and damp earth. According to the vintages, there are also notes of truffle and game. Refined tannins coat the palate. Good balance between texture and acidity. Long aftertaste, with notes of cherry and candied fruit.. - Veronique Boss-Drouhin
