A fascinating contrast to the 2006 Roger Sabon CdP Prestige, which was candidly a much better wine with the Grenache tamed with 30% of other varieties. Both 15% alcohol. This was enjoyable in small doses but sooooo sweet.

P: MF, poss F, body; RNDISH entry with ALMOST swtish frt nicely balanced by acidity, this SEAMLESSLY transitioning into an incredibly LONG finish with the barest HINT of bitter/swtness to the very, VERY fine tannins. A *fantastic* wine drinking BEAUTIFULLY right now, & I'd imagine it will continue to do so into the EARLY 2020's. :) Also, held up VERY well in a small tasting glass for 3+ hrs! 90 pts ea WA & WE (Czerwinski, 12/31/06) @ $102, + 2 other scores on wine-searcher's Tasting Notes pg. [As of mid Mar '20, wine-searcher still shows 2 sources @ $96 & $100].

Still fresh, with darker style fruits and spice
Nice balance built on firm acidity

정말 맛있었던... 용범이와 함께.
입안가득 부드럽지만 깊은 타닌감, 검은 과일향....베리 굿
