2006 Domaine de Marcoux Chateauneuf-du-Pape V. V.

Tasting Note:

One of the vintage_s blockbusters is the 2006 Chateauneuf du Pape Vieilles Vignes with even higher alcohol (16.2%) than the 2007. It offers lovely notes of black fruits truffle oil roasted meats beef blood black raspberries abundant kirsch and a hint of roasted Provencal herbs. On a much faster evolutionary track than the 2007 it is a layered multi-dimensional effort displaying a finish that lasts nearly 60 seconds. Some unresolved tannins in the finish suggest this wine should be cellared for 2-3 years and consumed over the following two decades. Source: Wine Advocate
