Opinions about wine differ greatly as the experience is subjective. You may find it helpful to compare this critical evaluation of the wine with mine as well as your own:
Aged in oak barrels, the dark garnet 2006, composed of Tannat, Cabernet Franc and Cabernet Sauvignon, opens on notes of vanilla, relayed by red and black fruit with a filigree of green tea. The supple attack announces a palate that is both warm and cool, the latter quality enhanced by vegetal accents and mild tannins which assure that two or three years aging should make this nicely rounded. Duck with olives would be a wonderful match. Source: Guide Hachette
