“A splendid vintage, far from being past its prime, that will put many a Bordeaux Grand Cru of the same age to shame!”

The 2006 vintage in magnum format, now 18 years old, has just emerged from its adolescence. It has reached maturity, displaying all its complexity, yet also a certain smoothness, having now fully integrated the tannic structure of a vintage that was quite dense at the outset—a structure that, incidentally, has allowed the wine to “hold up” until now. But it can easily be cellared until its 20th anniversary, and likely beyond.

It's smooth, with a long finish—a VERY long finish. Decant several hours in advance. Aromas of ripe black fruits.
