Likes this wine:

Friday, July 17, 2015 - I was a bit worried to open one of these, especially after reading the less than positive reviews.

The nose after opening was clear of any stink or taint and instead had a shut-down 2006 quiet cherry note. The reserved nose is followed by a very tannic but bright cherry and acid mouthful.

This vintage is shut down for the moment.

I don't sense any of the flaws mentioned (and ones I have experienced with other 2006 bottlings) in the bottle I opened.

Given the fierce tannins, I would recommend waiting 3-5 years before opening this out of 750ml again.

There might be hope for this vintage....
