Drouhin Laroze, Bonnes Mares other_regions and the 2006 is nothing

and the 2006 is nothing short of superb

trying to polish the tannins and keep the juiciness and avoid excessive tannins

the wine holds its own as one of the most beautiful in the entire appellation and one of the best in the somewhat lackluster vintage

crushed violets

Its inky black color is followed by classic notes of smoked meats

Drouhin Laroze, Bonnes Mares other_regions and the 2006 is nothing(almost entirely from a 1. 5 ha parcel in terres rouges). A brooding and backward nose is presently revealing little save for glimpses of red and blue berry fruit aromas though the rich, full and sleekly muscled flavors are sappy, intense and powerful, all wrapped in a classy and very pure finish of exceptional length. Despite the reserve, this is impressively constructed and built to age. Terrific and worth a close look. (92 95) 2017+
