With a friend coming around for a substantial mushroom risotto I have opened my bottle of the 2006 tonight, and it was a very pleasing experience. I particularly like the cool herbs and that the tannins are now very well integrated. Overall, a very drinkable wine, very, but also lacking some oomph and a bit more substance. From how the wine presented itself tonight, I would expect it to be really enjoyable for a few more years, but it seemed to be past the point where it causes excitement. Still quite accomplished though.
