Branaire Ducru 2006 (En-Primeur 2009 delivery)

Calon Segur 2006 (En-Primeur 2009 delivery)

Cantemerle 2006 (En-Primeur 2009 delivery)

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...

Cos d'Estournel 2006 (En-Primeur 2009 delivery)

Coutet 375ml 2006 (En-Primeur 2009 delivery)

Grand Destieux 2006 (En-Primeur 2009 delivery)

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...

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...

Haut Bages Liberal 2006 (En-Primeur 2009 delivery)
