Description
Rare Millésime 2006 is both exotic and fresh, mature and warm. Its almost paradoxical mineral and opulent tautness offers substantial potential for expression. To the eye, the 2006 vintage has an iridescent yellow-green gold colour. Dynamic bubbles glisten in brilliance. The first aromas offer a generous honeyed and oriental nose. An intense nose can reveal precocious, but great, maturity, the sign of a generous, intense year. Expressive fragrances of white chocolate, cocoa, coffee, tropical fruits, mango, and quince lend to the complexity. An infinitely rich and inviting palate. An exceptionally long finish with hints of mocha and cappuccino blend with dried apricots, vanilla, and sweet spices. As it warms in the glass, Rare Millésime 2006 pulses with accents of crisp honeyed pastries and Espelette pepper. Testifying to its solar generosity, this depth underscores the wine’s taut freshness and foreshadows a magnificent longevity
