Domaine de Marcoux Châteauneuf-du-Pape 2006
Domaine de Marcoux Châteauneuf-du-Pape 2006 The stunning, deep ruby/purple-hued 2006 Chateauneuf du Pape exhibits black fruits, licorice, incense, and hints of grilled meats and garrigue. While not as explosively aromatic or full as the 2007, the full-bodied, velvety textured, big, substantial 2006 is a top success for the vintage. Drink it over the next 15 years. - 93/100 Robert Parker Bright red. Energetic red berry and cherry aromas are brightened by minerals, dried flowers and anise. Racy redcurrant and wild strawberry flavors are braced by youthful tannins and become sweeter with air, finishing with great snap and sappy length. Reminds me of an elegant Chambolle-Musigny.- 91-94/100 Stephen Tanzer Very juicy, with layers of raspberry and plum fruit cascading over each other, while fruitcake, red licorice, floral and mineral notes fill in the background. The long, driven finish lets the purity shine. Really fine-grained. A very consistent performer, this should flesh out nicely in the cellar.- 92/100 Wine Spectator
