2006 Château Kirwan
Community Tasting Note
WojteG Likes this wine:
Tuesday, February 13, 2024 - First of all - thanks to relatively low score from wine critics I could afford this wine.
Second of all - I would never guess, that this wine is from Margaux, because of black pepper from the beginning to the end. It's very well blended and integrated with other flavors, but anyway it's what I know about Margaux doesn't fit in this picture.
Sweet, ripe red cherry, black cherry, vanilla ice cream, mint ( 👍), milk chocolate and spice, included black pepper. Together with vivid acidity it's a perfect balance for sweetness.
Dry, grippy tannins in finish ( positive thing!)
Very friendly, very drinkable, not too complicated ( so what?), addictive.
2006 got 88 points according to the WA Vintage Guide.
Above Average to Excellent. Early maturing and accessible.
