Plenty of warm fruit here with some gaminess on the mid-palate. Effortless throughout and into a refined finish. Nice balance. Very tasty. Holding up just fine under screw cap.

Nowhere near as powerful and extracted as I expected, based on my previous experience with the 2008. The 2006 is more refined and smooth with a soft plummy nose with no noticeable alcohol or tannins. Taste is subtle dark fruit and a lingering plum finish. This may have been more vibrant in its youth but is a very civilized glass at present.

shared with pat at selkirk manor to celebrate the end of the work week. thought it was time for us to find out what schild is about after all the hype he received for the 2008 vintage. this wine proved to have a lot of stuffing considering that it is now 8 years old. jammy fruit on a substantial frame. fills the mouth with big body. long finish. sedimentation adheres to the side of the bottle.

PnD let air for one hour. More structure and elegance than expected at its peak. Part of a 2005 thorugh 2008 vertical. 2nd favourite on the night.
