The 06 is very lush with cassis and almost a little sweet cream to it. Perfectly integrated tannins, and smooth. Mouthfeel is beautiful and velvety.

This was just…wow. Reserved with initial notes and closed off. With a 3.5 hour bottle decant, this turned out to be the most remarkable wine I have had in a very long time. Its evolution reminded me of the 05 Baron de Pichon but this sang in the most amazing way. The nose showed menthol, cedar, and dark black fruits. The color was inky with bricking at the rim. The palate shows juicy dark black fruits (mostly seared blackberry), licorice, milky dark chocolate, a finish that goes forever, and truly “SILKY” tannins. The finish goes forever. My heart melts that this is my only bottle.

Got this at a remarkable discount from my local wine shop. We had this with Italian food. It was oaky heavy with some new world over extraction. Dark fruits were present; day two showed some more impressive old world notes on the nose. Heavy wine, not my style but can appreciate how one may.
