| 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... (294 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. (1047 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. (1001 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 (1143 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. (1138 views) |
