TASTING NOTES:
Wine Rating: RP 88 points Drink by: 2012 - 2027
Tasted at the Château, the 2006 Les Asteries had a slightly mushroom-like bouquet that dissipates with time in the glass, soon replaced by attractive blackberry, bilberry, and mineral scents that have maintained fine precision over the last ten years. The palate is medium-bodied with sweet mulberry and red plum fruit, moderate weight in the mouth, though the finish feels a little smudged and has not aged quite as well as the Le Carré. Not bad, but personally I prefer more recent vintages. Tasted April 2016. |
