A sleeper of the vintage regardless of vintage conditions this St.-Emilion owned by Alain Vauthier (also the proprietor of Ausone) offers a dense ruby/purple color as well as sweet notes of incense spring flowers blueberries black currants and crushed rocks/minerals. The 2006 is deep and medium to full-bodied with sweet tannin and a layered mouthfeel. It should last for 10-15 years.
