Popped and poured; enjoyed over the course of three hours. The 2006 pours a deep ruby color with a translucent core; medium viscosity, with faint staining of the tears. On the nose, the wine is developing with lovely notes of tart and ripe, mostly red fruit: raspberries, strawberry, red flowers, mushrooms, forest floor, and gentle baking spices. On the palate, the wine is dry with medium tannin and medium+ acid. Confirming the notes from the nose. The finish is medium+ and silky. I found this to be quite a remarkable showing from a somewhat unremarkable vintage. Perfect pairing with the duck. Drink now through 2036.

Black cherry to blackberry, lots of fruit and very ripe. Dark spices, slight red spices. Nice tannins, some cream. Spices and acid are really nice but fruit is too ripe for my taste. Still silky and nice wine.
