Community Tasting Note

KPB Likes this wine:

Tuesday, April 25, 2017 - I was very impressed by the 2006 La Joie, which seems to be entering its peak now, at age 11. This was a cool vintage, they explained, and the wine lacks the "overdriven" fruit one often found back in that period from other cabernets in the region. Here, the result is a cooler, deeper, more "sober" expression of cabernet. The nose is plummy and very complex with dark notes, graphite, leather, hints of menthol. Richly flavored with a very suave, soft texture, very balanced and strikingly long. A stunner.

Available from Verite's library for $275/750ml bottle, as are the other 2006 reds (la Joie, Le Desire).
