What a nice surprise. We bought this bottle at the Chateau some years ago - this being their 2nd wine I can only imagine that we had enjoyed tasting it. The wine was deep in colour and in taste. Blackberries, violets and chocolate perhaps a little well integrated cedar. Fresh tannins still present at the edge. A delightful wine that got better in the glass.

- Garnet color with medium forming legs and aromas of black currant and raspberry. It's balanced and has flavours of rose and violet with a medium/full body. Round texture with a long finish.

Decanted for about 4 hours. Very primary with plum, blueberry, and tobacco on the nose. Medium acidity, medium tannins, slightly mouth drying. Primary sweet fruits on the palate, with minimal acidity. Strong candied notes on day one. Not much complexity here, pretty easy drinking Merlot based Bordeaux.

This is pure candy just after opening, but expect a short life. Much had simply disapeared 2 hour after opening. 2006 can drink now. And drink fast! 90pts

Nice pop and pour. Nothing too racy but easy to drink and tasty. Tannins are pretty soft, finish is medium. Worth drinking now.

Very good. Aromas leapt out of bottle - very vibrant and fresh. Definitely red fruits. Very slinky smooth wine with decent length. A fun bottle.
