“I did not expect the highlights of 2006 to be as promising as they turned out.There was little talk about the vintage following the harvest…However, the 2006 vintage has produced many fine wines, and overall, it is superior to 2004…2006 appears to be a modern-day version of 1996 or 1986, two vintages that produced wines with high percentages of Cabernet Sauvignon in their blends, strong tannins, and, in the best cases, impressive concentration.” –Robert Parker
“I found the 2006 vintage in Bordeaux to be a pleasant surprise on my annual early spring tour. It's a classic year in which many very good to excellent wines have been made, and even some I would describe as outstanding. The best wines, especially those based on Cabernet Sauvignon, are built to enjoy a long life.” –Steven Tanzer
