Full colour; still a bit closed, creamy honey and rich yellow fruit; rich fruit, spicy Rotliegendes, rich and juicy, highish acidity; excellent length, excellent achievement in 2006.
Wonderful, ripe nose, creamy, good fruit, depth, spicy warmth, refined oak, very different from Burgundy, not a trace of the forest floor, hint of honey; good weight, slightly rigid tannins, dry but juicy, velvety; good but not great length, slightly hot. Drink now, I guess.
