Beautiful nose of ripe black currant fruits, very young and dark colour! The palate is tight and waves and waves of slightly sweet spicy black fruits, a lengthy finish! Not fully mature yet! An hour of decanting may help. This is a rather serious wine!

Emirates flight. Excellent showing and significantly better than how I remember my last bottle 4 years ago. Tell tale left bank Bdx with good weight and depth. Has lost the baby fat and sweetness of earlier years and comes across pretty serious now but with nicely integrated tannins and good length. Excellent for 2006

Decanted over three hours. Delicious wine with nose of cedar, red fruit, red bell peppers and leather. Evolved as the night wore on. Quality Bdx tannic structure. This is in a place where it should be - drink.

Viel besser als die letzte Flasche, liegt wohl am längeren Dekantieren: Mindestens drei bis vier Stunden. Danach sehr rund, ausgewogen und ausbalanciert.Auch das leicht Marmeladige der letzten Flasche war weg.

While certainly drinkable earlier, this wine still needs 6 hours in the decanter to become the best version of itself. It then softens and loses its bitter taste. And, even then, I think that 2-3 more years in the cellar would help considerably. Dark cherries, cassis, cherry pits, cocoa powder. Long finish with fine tannins. So, next bottle on its 20th birthday. Surprisingly, I think that the 2005 is closer to prime drinking than the 2006. It's still hard for me to justify anything higher than 92.
