Robert Parker

"The 2006 Bonne Nouvelle is the first vintage to be fermented in open 500-liter barrels. It has a ripe, well-defined bouquet of macerated black cherries and licorice, with a hint of soy and a touch of mint. The palate is well-balanced with fine tannins, a little spicier than previous vintages, with hints of soy and bacon on the finish. It is well worth seeking out." (Wine Advocate 2011 - Robert Parker)
