Wine Advocate: 100 Points
Made up of 90% Merlot and 10% Cabernet Franc, the opaque bluish/purple 2005 from Bellevue-Mondotte offers amazing chocolate espresso notes along with blueberry and blackberry liqueur, some incense and a hint of flowers. Full-bodied and staggeringly concentrated, this blockbuster wine (in a blockbuster vintage) is unreal. Talk about a wine that is beyond belief – this is a great achievement from Chantal and Gérard Perse. Drink it over the next 25-30 years. Sadly, there were only 340 or so cases produced.
Wine Spectator: 97 Points
The crushed blackberry and raspberry are wonderful in this wine. Full-bodied with superpolished tannins and loads of ripe fruit toasty oak and coffee on the palate. Goes on and on. An opulent young red.
