"Medium red. High-pitched cassis and licorice on the nose, plus a whiff of high-toned oak. Then juicy, spicy and more serious than the young 2007, with brisk flavors of cassis and red licorice. Tightens up on the back, finishing with a slight dry edge. Brouin describes 2006 as "the classic pinot noir of Burgundy" but points out that the wines are higher than average in both tannins and acidity. 87 points" - Stephen Tanzer, Stephen Tanzer's International Wine Cellar, Mar/Apr 09
