This wine is consistently popular with juries. The 2006 vintage is no exception and earned itself two stars. It shows a beautiful Bordeaux-like red colour with glints of black. Its bouquet offers a perfect marriage of ripe black fruits (reminiscent of plums) and licorice-laced wood notes. This powerful wine displays well-structured, muscular tannin that will ensure good evolution for at least another five years. Score - 2 Stars (out of 3). (Guide Hachette, 2010)
