  Tannic, but balanced and food-friendly, with rich fruit. Not a lot of complexity, but may develop more with time.

  This was a very pleasant surprise. At least this bottle was by no means tired or past prime, but rather just entering a good window. Compared to a bottle five years ago, this has really come around. translucent red. Classic roses and tar flavors, Tannins are in balance, plenty of acidity as would be expected, but not obtrusive. This was fairly friendly and smooth on the palate, even a bit delicate . Stood up for a month, and carefully decanted. Allowed to breathe about 45 minutes before pouring. 92-93pts

  Drank next to a 2004 and we agreed the 2006 was better/ more alive.

  Still very tightly wound. Needs more time.

  Still a little tight and tannic right out of the bottle. With some pungent cheese--exquisite. Lush, soft fruit supported by a fine structured body.
  Perfect now, probably time to drink up.
