  This wine is surprising us, it seems to be in total balance. Complex flavors changing in the glass. Earth, leather some cherry, little bit of oak. We tasted lots of Bordeaux wines lately…this is nice, I like to smell into the glass..Nice

  Deep purple with no obvious bricking. Nose of intense ripe black cherry, some raspberry and tertiary flavours. Full body with fresh acidity, lots of oak and well integrated tannins. Big finish. A great wine with more years to go.

  In a fantastic window right now. Short 20-30 minute decant is not imperative, but did help open the wine up a bit. Drank last night so no formal tasting notes, but with a couple more years of age since the last tasting, this has blossomed into a real gem.

  After Thevenet 07 and 08. Not decanted but left in the glass half an hour. Nose leather and red/black fruit. Lovely fresh acidity but beautiful balance. Tannins not obtrusive but holding it all together. Lovely. Maybe another year or two. After half an hour in the glass the acidity fades. Understandable but loss of charm. Still good though

  Opened three hours before during and decanted for two hours. Delicate cork. Drinking very well. Drank it alongside the 2007 which was rather more impressive and I sense had more years of life left. Having said that the 2006 is an enjoyable Rioja and was still good on Day 2
