44% Cabernet Sauvignon, 56% Merlot. A clear step up from the 2004, even though the vintages were not dissimilar in style. A more delicate grain of tannins is on display, perhaps because 2006 was the first vintage where they took a more rigorous approach in the vineyard. Very dark fruits: cassis and bilberry. This is gentle in its spicing, finessed and expansive through the mid-palate, mouthwatering on the finish. Opens in waves as it sits in the glass.
