2006 Wine

Robert Parker's Wine Advocate, 95 points: The red flagship 2006 Viña Tondonia Reserva was inspired by the vineyards of the Médoc but produced with local grapes, 70% Tempranillo, 20% Garnacho, 5% Graciano and 5% Mazuelo, which achieved 13% alcohol in 2006. It...

jamessuckling.com, 100 points: Incredibly floral and beautiful with dark berry, spice, cedar and mint. Chinese plums. Asian spices. Bark. Tea. Full body, dense and so soft and complex. The finish goes on for minutes. Endless and fine. January 2017...

Robert Parker's Wine Advocate, 94 points: The purple-colored 2006 Poesia, sourced from an 80-year-old vineyard in Lujan de Cuyo, was barrel fermented and aged for 18 months in new French oak. It is a blend of 60% Malbec and 40% Cabernet Sauvignon. It exhibits a...

Burghound, 92 points: (BH89-92 points) This too evidences background notes of wood spice on the slightly riper red berry fruit nose that displays plenty of earth and underbrush on the supple, intense and nicely voluminous flavors that possess...

Wine Enthusiast, 94 points: Billecart-Salmon's style is dry, so an Extra Brut will be almost bone-dry. This wine is crisp and tight, bringing out grapefruit and citrus flavors and a steely, mineral character. It is still young, with freshness...

Wine Spectator, 93 points: A blast of cherry, raspberry, mint and mineral aromas and flavors herald this focused, tensile red, which has ripe, sweet fruit, a firm structure, refinement and fine length. The finish is all spice now. Best from 2012...

Robert Parker's Wine Advocate, 94 points: The 2006 Viña Bosconia Reserva, always more rustic and powerful than the Viña Tondonia, was cropped from a warm and early harvest and is a blend of Tempranillo with 15% Garnacha and 5% Graciano and Mazuelo. This wine...

jamessuckling.com, 96 points: Extremely fleshy, fresh and exuberant with unashamedly expressive red cherries, raspberries and strawberries, with cinnamon and other baking spices, too. Sleek, vinous and tangy. A clever wine for the playful fruit...

Decanter, 97 points: Powerful, concentrated and seriously young tannins are closed tight around the pure, intense, dark, sweet fruits, followed by a deep undertow of liquorice, cloves and graphite. Extraordinary balance, polish and control...

Wine Enthusiast, 94 points: This is a dry style of wine, with great acidity and a tightly wrought texture. As with many Gosset Champagnes, this wine has had no malolactic fermentation, enhancing the freshness and crispness as well as the structure...

TheWineCellarInsider.com, 90 points: Medium bodied, firm, fresh, crisp style of wine, with an earthy, fresh plum, thyme, smoke and espresso perfume. This is probably close to fully mature.

Robert Parker's Wine Advocate, 98 points: This is a re-release of a wine that first hit the market some seven years ago. The Il Greppo estate did not make a Riserva in the 2011 vintage, and the 2006 Brunello di Montalcino Riserva is being reintroduced to the...

Robert Parker's Wine Advocate, 95 points: 95+ This tiny 5-acre vineyard with nearly 50-year old vines produces only 4000 bottles from a blend of 90% Merlot and 10% Cabernet Franc. The broodingly tannic backward 2006 is remarkably concentrated pure and deep. It is...

Wine Enthusiast, 94 points: Year after year Lynch-Bages is able to produce sumptuous wines typically rich powerful and structured. This is solid the blackberry ripe fruit enveloping this structure with a velvet sheen. This is developing into one of...

Wine Spectator, 95 points: A kaleidoscope of orchard fruit, with a squeeze of lime served on a wet slate platter. Delicate and fresh, yet concentrated, with a silky, see-through texture. Has great length, with a tangy aftertaste. Drink now through...
