2006 Bordeaux En-Primeur - Terms & Conditions of Sale

	Branaire Ducru 2006 (En-Primeur 2009 delivery) St Julien. Proprietor Patrick Maroteaux continues to ratchet up the quality level at this impeccably run St.-Julien estate. The 2006 is similar to the 1996 Branaire, but with sweeter fruit. A deep...		Price:	QTY:

	Calon Segur 2006 (En-Primeur 2009 delivery) The harvest at this estate was relatively late for the vintage (September 26-October 15), and approximately two-thirds of the production made it into the final blend of 64% Cabernet Sauvignon...		Price:	QTY:

	Cantemerle 2006 (En-Primeur 2009 delivery) Quality at this property has been rising dramatically over the last several vintages. Cantemerle will never be a blockbuster claret, but rather one built on finesse and elegance. Hints of menthol, black cherries...		Price:	QTY:

	Cos d'Estournel 2006 (En-Primeur 2009 delivery) St Estephe. Jean-Guillaume Prats told me that yields were a modest 38 hectoliters per hectare, and only 55% of the production made it into the 2006 Cos. The harvest took place between September 21 and October 6...		Price:	QTY:

	Coutet 375ml 2006 (En-Primeur 2009 delivery) Very neutral nose - sweet and heavy and perhaps just embryonic. Tingly sweet richness but a bit wild and unreconstructed. Very round texture and pretty impressive concentration. No shortage of sweetness...		Price:	QTY:

	Duhart Milon 2006 (En-Primeur 2009 delivery) Pauillac. Not surprisingly, this estate’s owner, the Rothschild family (who also owns Lafite-Rothschild), has been making significant investments in Duhart’s winemaking facilities and vineyards...		Price:	QTY:

	Grand Destieux 2006 (En-Primeur 2009 delivery) St Emilion. This impressive wine from the proprietor of Chateau Teyssier, Jonathan Maltus, needs a few years to settle down, but it reveals beautiful potential. Two-thousand cases are produced from...		Price:	QTY:

	Grand Puy Lacoste 2006 (En-Primeur 2009 delivery) Pauillac. While not at the level of this estate’s blockbuster 2005, the 2006 exhibits a deep purple color as well as classic aromas of cassis and blueberries, ripe tannin, medium body, a distinctive minerality...		Price:	QTY:

	Guiraud 375ml 2006 (En-Primeur 2009 delivery) Sweet lime sherbet with bitter orange notes. Lots of power, sweetness and richness. Some notes of green vegetation on the very back palate but overall a good debut for the new regime. Just a bit hard...		Price:	QTY:

	Haut Bages Liberal 2006 (En-Primeur 2009 delivery) A potential sleeper of the vintage, the 2006 Haut-Bages-Liberal exhibits a deep ruby/purple hue, plenty of intense creme de cassis fruit, notions of roasted herbs, underbrush, and licorice, moderate...		Price:	QTY:

	La Mission Haut Brion 2006 (En-Primeur 2009 delivery) This superb effort rivals La Mission’s 2005. There are 6,000 cases of the 2006, and general manager Jean-Philippe Delmas told me that the Merlot came in at a natural alcohol that exceeded 15%...		Price:	QTY:

	La Tour Blanche 375ml 2006 (En-Primeur 2009 delivery) Big and heavy and all weight though not desperately fine (it plays the weight card). Lots of green notes plus lots of sweetness. Completely embryonic. Impressive weight and length. Chewy finish...		Price:	QTY:
