  Surprisingly elegant, perfumed. This has a big structure and is quite austere with the bones protruding from the pleasing sweet fruit. Medium finish some complexity. Needs more time, not convinced the structure will soften enough to dip below the relatively delicate fruit. Try again in 10 years.

  闻香有明显的动物皮毛味，青椒，红黑果，香料味，一些烘烤的气息，入口酸度中等，酒液咸，单宁紧致颗粒细腻，石墨，青椒混合着醋栗的味道，酒体不大，但架构清晰，后段稍微空洞了点，余味是香料感，非常标准的波尔多酒，稳定的质量输出。

  Intens frukt fra mørke bær, noe fat og kjeller i nesa.
  I munnen er det sødmefulle mørke bær med hint av rips. Litt flat rett fra flasken, men åpner seg med god frukt etter hvert i karaffel. God taninbalanse som stod godt til okse indrefilet med fløtepotet og bernaisesaus. Holder noen år til i kjelleren, spent på om den fortsatt kan utvikles!

  Has some early signs of maturity as the nose isnrather expressive with leather, cedar, and slightly herbacious notes. Mild tannins but becoming more prominent on the finish. Still has some vanilla notes to integrate. Doesn’t have the power or delineation of the better yesrs.

  Pencil shavings and blackcurrant aromas, then a fairly classic mouthful of cool blackcurrant with hints of raspberry and loganberry. I should have decanted as the tannins were initially quite aggressive. The only downside is the rather lacklustre finish, where the fruit is fading, but overall I enjoyed the freshness and restraint. Not the best LR and presumably not one of the better 06s, but I enjoyed it.
