Gorgeous nose, with violet, currant and berry, and a vanilla undertone. Full-bodied, with a solid core of ripe fruit and supersilky tannins. Long and rich. Wonderful wine. Love the balance. Almost 95-100. —James Suckling, Wine Spectator
From only 50% of the harvest, administrator Thomas Duroux has produced a blend of
66% Cabernet Sauvignon and 34% Merlot from yields of 37 hectoliters per hectare.
The 2006 reveals a touch of austerity along with an impressive dense purple color, and
sweet aromas of flowers, licorice, black currants, oak, and underbrush. This structured,
powerful, medium to full-bodied, beautifully made, ageworthy 2006 should be ready to
drink in 5-6 years, and keep for 25-30. -Robert Parker
