I’m liking this a good deal more than many on the board. I get a wonderful sense of ripe cherry fruit mixed with fall underbrush. Maturing but with still prominent tannin (I don’t get the harsh aspect others describe) suggests another 5+ years of evolution. It lacks the stuffing to be special and the finish lacks some length. That said, the fruit and weight are just lovely and this is a wonderful partner at the diner table. Probably less impressive in a tasting format. I like it. (91)

PnP'ed. Had this around a year back, and this is certainly getting better & better with more age on it. Similar notes like the last bottle, 'cept the fruits now seemed a bit sweeter and silkier. Overall, it seemed to have gained a bit more complexity with more fruit-perfume as well. Should make a nice drink as it continues on this trajectory...

8/26/2022 - Mario17 Does not like this wine:
Trouvé mince et austère légèrement, un peu terne, mince et manquant d'éclat comme certains 2006.
