Castle La Vieille Cure - Fronsac 2006

Wine Spectator

Very racy and still quite fresh, with delicious plum, anise and violet notes pushed by driving olive and roasted apple wood notes. The pure finish has nice cut. Merlot, Cabernet Franc and Cabernet Sauvignon. Drink now through 2013. 8,333 cases made.

This American-owned estate produces one of the most impressive wines made in Fronsac. Fashioned primarily from Merlot, the saturated ruby/purple-colored 2006 reveals superb sweet kirsch, black currant, licorice, forest floor, and earth characteristics, a textured, medium to full-bodied mouthfeel, sweet tannin, and a long finish. Another super-star Fronsac, it, like virtually every wine from this appellation, sells at a realistic price. It is the perfect wine in these troubled economic times. Drink it over the next 10-12 years. Excellent value.

Nez très expressif de fruits rouges, noirs bien mûrs, avec de jolies nuances épiées. Bouche chaleureuse, ample, avec une bonne maturité, du fruit, une trame élégante, fraîche. Bon potentiel.

The 2006 is another outstanding effort from this Fronsac estate. Dominated by its ripe Merlot component, the wine possesses a dense ruby/purple color as well as notes of sweet mulberries, black cherry liqueur, underbrush, and subtle oak. Fleshy, plump, pure, and richly fruity, this medium to full-bodied sleeper of the vintage will be at its finest between 2010 and 2020.

Ungemein dicht, hervorragendes Tannin : der beste Vieille Cure, den wir bis heute verkostet haben. 2012 bis 2018

Full, rich and very winning even if not for the very long term. Quite a bit of refreshing acidity but this is so much more exciting than most other wines sold by the UK supermarket group Sainsbury’s! Pretty dry finish for the moment but there is broad, solid fruit here.
