From the home estate of the famed Bordeaux oenologist, Professor Denis Dubourdieu, this is always a richly fruity, surprisingly complex, lush, medium-bodied wine emphasizing purity, balance, and overall grace and satisfaction. The 2006 is all of that and more, but keep in mind, this needs to be drunk in its first 3-4 years of life. Good value. Feb 2009, www.robertparker.com
