Magnificent showing this evening; the sturdy '06 is finally coming into its own, showing fine-tuned, grainy and sweet tannins, framing the lush red berries and forest floor aromas/flavors. Great Burgundy profile but of course providing more grip, yet sharing a similar acidic structure. This will easily cruise another 15+ years. Bravo!

Meets all the requisite characteristics just on the simpler side. Tannins are a bit pronounced in comparison to the other components. Based on day2.

Classic. Aromas of black/blue berries and candied orange with forest floor. Grainy course tannins but softening with opening time. Deep flavor. Bricky dense color.
