Friday, November 5, 2010 - 2006 Blind Tasting - Chateau Reignac v. Bordeaux First Growths (Wine Discount Center - Highland Park): 2nd Place of the tasting. Big nose. Huge fruit, tobacco, leather and spice. Nice robust clean pure aromas of dark chocolate, mocha and medium dark roast espresso.
Touches of rock and wet gravel. A little bit of a waxy nose - plums, somewhat of a green streak too. Dark pepper spice. Strong complex and masculine.
On the back end there is some pencil shaving and graphite flavors. Big backbone. This is a brooding wine though less dark and "black" than other Latour vintages.
Cellar for at least ten years.
