La Grande Rue 2006

A very pretty, even perfumed, nose speaks mostly of fresh red berry fruit, spice and lilac nuances that display only a touch of secondary character. There is fine mid-palate density and verve to the medium-bodied flavors that possess very good if not genuinely special depth and persistence on the balanced finale. For my taste, while close to its peak, this would benefit from another 3 to 5 years or so of keeping. In a word, lovely.

Score: 93
