Drink
"A splendid vintage, far from being in decline, that will make more than one Bordeaux Grand Cru of the same age pale!
The 2006 magnum, 18 years old, has just emerged from adolescence. It has reached maturity, with all its complexity, but also softness, having now digested the tannic structure of the vintage, which was quite dense to begin with, and which has enabled the wine to "hold" up to the present day. But it can easily be kept until its 20th birthday, and probably beyond.

Good, long on the palate, VERY long on the palate. Decant several hours before drinking. Ripe black fruit aromas.
