January 15, 2016 - Browning colour, lovely fresh nose of dark fruit and oak. On the palate it is clean, detailed and dry with a fruity persistent to the length which suggests, along with the aromas, there is great potential to develop. The flavours of dark fruit and oak come through with further evolved flavours of mushroom, forest floor and minerals. As with many 2006's there is a lack of the serious power and breadth that one finds with the likes of the 2005's but that is not necessarily a bad thing as you enjoy the wine for its transparency. I like it.
BTW it was much less challenging than the 05 F Esmonin Lavaux drunk a couple of days ago, a wine just coming into the zone.1 person found this helpful 2,461 views
