Clos La Madeleine 2006 (750ML)

16 JR

Slightly pale. Round fruity nose but a bit stringy and lean on the palate. Pretty chewy and sinewy. Definitely an athlete… Lively finish. - Jancis Robinson

"From a 2.2-hectare vineyard located between Belair and Magdelaine, according to consulting winemaker Hubert de Bouard; roughly an 80/20 blend of merlot and cabernet franc.  Ruby-red. Highly minerally aromas of blackberry, flowers and spices; almost pinot-like. Suave, juicy and on the dry side, with modest flesh but lovely purity and perfume to its dark berry flavors. Not a particularly sweet style, but subtle and firm on the back, with enticing lingering perfume." -Stephen Tanzer, International Wine Cellar
