  An opaque deep ruby purple in colour. Scents of cassis, plum, mint, licorice, fig preserve, balsamic and subtle oak notes. Medium full bodied with sweet tannins and a nice long mineral tinged finish. I'm surprised this hasn't developed more tertiary notes by now, I mean it is near 14 years old at this point!
  
  There was definitely some bottle variation between my two tastings. The first bottle was a bit flabby and on the down, and this was on a complete opposite trajectory, wow!

  Really enjoyed drinking this wine. Very much like a typical Medoc style wine except on the finish which showed a bit more bitterness, maybe some garrigue and a slightly different fruit set …. dark fruit berries and cassis but also another type of fruit I can't quite place. Popped an allowed to aerate for an hour or so. Slow sipping and it changed a bit more, but pretty consistent sipping.

  This bottle is right in the middle of the range of ratings that I would give the 06. I have seen a bit of variation in the recent bottles. Nose of earth and dark berries. The oak was light and nice flavor of dark berries with a tiny bit of green grape astringence at the end. Finish has really nice smooth tannins

  The bouquet is still a bit locked. There is some menthol and fruit. On the palate cherries, some spiciness, some chocolate and fresh acidity. The tannin is round but still firm. Wait for another 3 or 4 years, so the bouquet will be more expressive and the tannin more smooth.
