Brooding and rich, this concentrated red has dark cherry ganache, milk chocolate, floral and plum flavors. A mouthcoating texture, with firm but integrated tannins, eases into the tobacco leaf-, tea- and graphite-infused finish.

Impenetrable red in colour. The nose is lush and damsony, with a seductive richness of fruit. Velvety and very concentrated, it nonetheless exhibits vivid acidity and spice. The rather high alcohol gives a peppery finish, and a long bitter-chocolate finish. Perhaps too much of a good thing, but undeniably impressive.

In the footsteps of the 2005 vintage, La Tyre 2006 shows an 'al dente' freshness with less ripe grapes but a more charming and bright bouquet of dark berries, blueberry, flowers and cherry aromas. Tense and penetrating, the palate is very fresh, with subtle tannins and a perfectly balanced texture. It’s a stunning wine that should be given 5–8+ years of cellaring before drinking.

Aromas of spiced black cherries, blueberries, stewed blackcurrants, black tea, cloves and walnuts. It’s full-bodied with firm, chewy tannins. Concentrated and powerful with a solid core of black fruit. Still chewy, as ever, but solid and typical.
