Last bottle. And it was the best one. Beautiful ripe red fruit, citrus, great tension, length and class. Paired really nice with fillet of lamb with a creamy orange sauce and grilled green asparagus.

This 2006 bottle came to us via a circuitous, mysterious path with risky provenance of loading docks, garages and more. The fill level was okay, the cork was tight and produced almost no sediment. In the decanter it is opaque with a deep mahogany color. The first sniff gave me pause but the full body on the tongue is rich with cherries and chocolate. I'm guessing if this bottle had been properly cared for the score would be in the nines.
