Robert Parker's Wine Advocate : This tiny, 5-acre vineyard with nearly 50-year old vines produces only 4,000 bottles. The broodingly tannic, backward 2006 is remarkably concentrated, pure, and deep. It is an amazing tour de force in winemaking, but like nearly all the Perse 2006s, it is a massively built vin de garde with no compromises meant for serious connoisseurs and long-term cellaring. Forget it for 7-8 years, and drink it over the following 25-30.
Blend : 90% Merlot, 5% Cabernet Sauvignon and 5% Cabernet Franc.
