Third course with the 06 Lynch Bages, Duck Confit with Pommes Landsies.
The body is full. The tannins round but still big. The fruit is very dark; blackberries, dark cherries, black raspberries with ripe strawberries. More earthier than the others so far. Dry stones, crush rocks, tobacco leaf, some graphite, underbrush, cigar aftertaste, saddle-wood, tough leather, dark red dry flowers. Good acidity. The finish leans earth. It just needs more time in bottle...at least five years+.

Classically styled Pauillac with plenty of currants, leather, pencil shavings, spice box. Nice firm tannins that ads a youthful posture. Starting to enter its peak.

2006 vintage. Lean and mean. Decanted and tasted after 1.5 hrs. Not too much sed. Nice little sprinkling of cocoa powder in a feminine nose but, otherwise, all business and very transactional. Difficult to love and hard to understand with this effort being pretty linear vs what we've come to know/expect/love from this property. Plenty of concentration but lacking that extra oomph of finishing depth and seems like it has topped out/not improving. 9.23.23.
