| Tasting Note | Wine Advocate (eRobert Parker) 92/100 Vintage 2006 Neal Martin Issued 30-May-2016 Tasted at the château, the 2006 Rouget was always a quietly impressive Pomerol when it was released and it continues to offer great quality. The bouquet is very pure and comely, with ripe strawberry and raspberry coulis aromas, beautifully defined, very focused and tensile. The palate is medium-bodied with fine tannin, a mixture of red and black fruit, superb mineralité and backbone, long and sustained on the finish. This Rouget seems to be improving in bottle and it will be fascinating to watch its progress. Proprietor Edouard Labruyère described it as becoming "a real Pomerol now." I would agree. Tasted April 2016. Robert Parker 90/100 Vintage 2006, Tasted 25-Feb-2009 Another estate on the rise in Pomerol, the quality here has been very consistent over the last eight years. With sweet kirsch-like notes intermixed with some underlying soil notes, this elegant, attractive wine exhibits a medium-bodied mouthfeel, soft tannins, and outstanding ripeness in a pure, richly fruity style that should provide enormous enjoyment early yet age nicely for 10-12 years. Wine Spectator 88/100 Vintage 2006, Tasted: 31-Mar-2009 Shows aromas of plum jam, with hints of flowers and raspberry. Medium-bodied, with refined, silky tannins and a medium finish. Balanced and reserved. This is not overextracted, which is good. Best from 2012 through 2016. 3,000 cases made. –JS Jancis Robinson 15.5/20 Vintage 2006, When to drink: 2012 to 2016 Rather woody but with sweet cassis peaking through. A bit jammy on the nose and palate (maybe sample a little oxidised?). Pleasant but not much depth and slightly harsh on the finish.
