  D1h. Dark garnet red, yellow tinged, 5.5. Mature airy meaty, forest floor. Harmonious palate, almost resolved tannins, well balanced, more tertiary stuff than fruit, elegant finish. Drink now-onwards.

  This has developed better than expected. Medium-bodied, elegant, soft and refined, you find flowers, earth, fennel and red fruits on the nose. Light in weight, the soft-textured red fruits finish nicely on the palate. This is close to fully developed.

  Late Mar 2020: purple color; simple red and dark fruit nose; dull and restrained on the palate.
  
  Is it that La Cabanne 2006 and my taste buds simply do not work together? Bought 6 bottles of this wine en primeur. All the ones I have tasted so far (1 bottle is still in storage) lacked to give me any enjoyment. While the bouquet/nose offers a good-very good showing it’s that lame, numb palate which gives the feeling to drink liquid paper. 80/100
  
  Addendum - half of the wine remained in bottle with a stopper; tasted again after 2 days storage at room temperature: nose of slightly oxidized dark and red fruits; the wine has opened up, now there’s definitely some texture and a certain juiciness; however, strong bitter flavors don’t let arise much pleasure. 81/100
  
  2nd Addendum - after 4 days the wine now is fully open; the nose stayed on the given level; on the palate the bitterness has vanished almost completely. 83-84/100
  
  So the impression at day 4 gives me some hope for my last remaining bottle. I‘ll keep it at least for another 10 years in storage. Stay tuned :-).

  Not the finest expression of Pomerol but then again priced accordingly. Lacks complexity and depth but is a serviceable wine. May be better in a couple of years. Will try again tomorrow.

  Bu en succ.
  Pour le prix, franchement décevant.
  Mince et vert, court en finale, on passe!
