1st of 6, opened an hour then decanted 45 minutes, perfect cork and level - dark but not dense, transparent, quite glossy ruby, youngish robe; black cherry, mineral, nice touch of spice, fresh, pure and quite complex; medium, v long and persistent, intense rather than concentrated, bright and layered, well balanced and not clunky, early maturity, some upside, 15+ years. F+ (18).

My takeaway of trying the 06 red burgs is that they are notably less appealing than 3-5 years ago as the chunkiness has overwhelmed the fruit and freshness. The wine was quite flat in the context of a Cathiard Suchots. In fact, 06 Cathiard NSG Murgers surprisingly had more fruit purity than the Suchots as of today.

After 5 hour of slow ox, the bottle tonight is exceptional with dark fruit, oak spice, cherries and mineral. Dense and layered palate with excellent precision. Really love the structure and tension of the wine. 93-94

Les Suchots tasting (The Wolf): Sweet red fruit nose. Nice palate of perfectly ripe red fruit and subtle spice. Sexy, but with good freshness too. I really liked this, a success for the vintage. My 2/8

Slow oxed for 6 hours before serving. Spice, candied fruit, orange peel, nutmeg and berries. Great structure with appealing sweetness. 92-93
