Nose: fine herbal and flowery notes. Taste: the same herbal and flowery notes were the first impression. Friendly red berry- and a bit of black fruit. OK acidity. Nice mature notes. Medium bodied, well concentrated, with a bit of “flat” tannins. These seem unresolved, but I guess in fact this is a quality of the Medocs 2006. Nevertheless: with steak, potatoes and scorzoneras a really enjoyable wine. Maybe can be kept for one more year, but I don’t think it will improve. 88.

My last bottle. Lots of cassis fruit making it feel very youthful, some secondary notes in the finish. This could easily age a few more years. Great PQR.

Kept under condition 2 for two till three years (see my profile). Twice decanted for 24 hours. Color: (medium to) dark purple. Nose: right after decanting blackberries and plum. In the glass after having been twice aerated some herbal notes and red cherries. Taste: red berries and cherries of quite good quality, but also quite prominent fine but astringent tannins, that did not faint. At the second day the fruit was a bit more prominent. I will keep my other bottle for at least one year. For now 86, potentially 87+.

That was my last bottle... In my view beyond its peak.
