What the BWE take on Clos les Lunelles?

[Blanquito]

I've never tried a Clos les Lunelles.

I know it's a Perse wine, a person whose rep seems to be improving as Pavie ages better than expected.

Clos les Lunelles is often reasonably priced and highly rated by the snake-oil-salesman par excellence, but does that mean it is Parkerized?

[Comte Flaneur]

I tried it out of curiosity and I think you can safely say that this wine is Parkerized...

This is a bottle with a message in, and the message is 'beware'.

This is not a wine for drinking, this is a wine for laying down and avoiding.

(Borrowed from Eric Idle)

I guess this wine is to Pavie what Lynch Bages is to Mouton Rothschild (or Haut-Brion or LMHB)

I saw it for $47 - I wouldn't say that is cheap for the experience.

I didn't like it. In fact it is a microcosm - a caricature - of everything I despise in modern Bordeaux.

Yep, spoofulated to the max. I liked the '05 for what it was -- a good wine in a non-expectational way.

BUT, it's a function of what you want in a wine... It may not be classic Bordeaux, but it would be an interesting ringer in a high-dollar Napa cab tasting...

Thanks for the info.

I bought one bottle of the 2004 (92pts from Parker) for $21, just ITNOS.

I'll post when it arrives.
