Dense as hell, from the best year of the 80s. Lightening up around the edge but still quite dark; wonderfully thick nose full of tertiary aromas and woody, smoky blackcurrent skins. Lacking the typical cedary St Julien nose and so fat I though it was a top St Estephe. Bordeaux the way it should be - none of this modern style crap; this is wine built to last. — 10 years ago
Very open right now, especially compared to the Clary Ranch. Very Rhone like, meaty, peppery and wonderful balance. Lithe and refreshing for a Syrah. And hell, who can resist opening now, Que syrah, syrah! — 11 years ago

Let me begin by saying holy hell what a wine!!! Incredibly memorable. Gorgeously aromatic, dried meat and spice, dried tobacco, bright red fruit, great acidity. Tons of life left. What a wine... — 11 years ago

A beautiful golden yellow in color leads to a delightful aroma of freshly squeezed lemons, with hints of oranges and minerality. There is a fresh, crisp, clean taste to this wine. A saline taste at first that gives way to good citrus favors. A good minerality of river rocks and limestone on the backend. I can see anyone sipping this on a warm summer evening and enjoying the hell out of it. — 13 years ago

06' Barnard Magrez Cabernet. 83% CB 12% CF 5%PV. WOW... A rare bottle indeed. This was sourced from the famous Vineyard Thorevilos (Abreu). Aaron Pott was its winemaker in 2006.
A 2 hour + on the decanting. All the elegant black fruit you can imagine in this glass. A 30+ finish. It's certainly in the discussion of one of the finest 2006's I've had out of Napa. Drinking well now & has another 20+ great years in it.
Barnard Magrez is now sourcing there fruit from Beckstoffer Dr. Crane Vineyards. If you didn't get enough Realm Dr. Crane 12/13's. Hell… just want to add another great wine! This certainly could be a viable option(wish list). Benoit Touquette is "NOW" the winemaker😉👍!!
I'm not saying the 12 & 13's are another Realm Dr. Crane. They're the same winemaker & sourcing🤔. Just a thought... — 10 years ago
