| Tasted by mmh on 12/20/2009 & rated 89 points: Decanted for 2 hours after which it opened up nicely. It kept improving for a few hours but after 7-8 hours it went downhill quite quickly. Full bodied, lots of herbs and fruit. Slightly green tannins. Will benefit from a few years of ageing, but this is probably not good for long term cellaring. (370 views) | |
| Tasted by trn10092 on 12/12/2009 & rated 92 points: Dark cherries, blackcurrants. Tannins are still quite young, will benefit from cellaring a few years. The 'vielles vignes' edition is better, but this is still a great wine. (343 views) | |
| Tasted by campingfleurie on 11/20/2009 & rated 90 points: When cool, leads with classic caramel and some raisin. Decanted 2 hours. Yes, improved over a few months ago – more supple and together. Hot stones, ripe plums, concentrated herbs, Port. 15.5% alc in ’06! Yet is bold and balanced – they’re serious about what they’re doing and get the blend right. 90 to 91 now, 90. (471 views) | |
| Tasted by thomasito2001 on 9/14/2009 & rated 90 points: Very ripe fruit and a lot of tannins, but of good quality. It seems like all the elements are there, but not in place yet. Wait... (669 views) | |

| Tasted by campingfleurie on 3/20/2009 & rated 89 points: Unexpressive; replete with acidity and a fair bit of tannin; and yet the high herby class made for exhilarating drinking! Each mouthful shows notable smoothness immediately before the structures kick in. Some nicely defined liquorice in aroma, and perhaps a flick of chalk, although that may have been the food confusing me. Maybe a lack of breadth and concentration, although it could be the acidity keeping the black fruits under wraps. Love the dramatic structure here; the wine seems excited about itself! Will obviously last many years, and certainly evolve positively in the short to medium term. A long cork... maybe this is the Sabons further backing the long term nature of this vintage of this cuvee. 89 now. (1438 views) | |
| Tasted by Hazeo on 3/7/2009 & rated 90 points: Very nice balance of smokey olive and dark lush fruit. I felt it wasn't particularly integrated but there are great components there. Hopefully with time it'll come together. (1375 views) | |
| Tasted by Philippe_C on 2/8/2009 & rated 91 points: Very ripe nose of licorice, black fruit and ripe peperonis... in the mounth, black fruit and relatively tannic (1531 views) | |
| Tasted by jdunnuck on 1/4/2009 & rated 93 points: Chateauneuf du Pape - 2006: Just gorgeous right out of the gate, this leads off with a big blast of spicy raspberry fruit, leather, minerals and garrigue notes that lead into a medium to full bodied palate. Balanced and with a traditional feel, this has a beautiful, tannic finish. (1516 views) |
