A completely different story - darker, deeper, more extractive, even heavier - an entirely different style compared to everything made since 2013. From what I remember, the 2012 was actually closer in style to 2006.
And this - this is pure magic. Red berries, dark flowers, red fruits. I can hardly believe it's a 2006 - it's preserved so incredibly well. Brilliant acidity, fantastic tannins, still so young, with so much life ahead.
Long finish, beautiful evolution, real power. There's a touch of liquorice at the very end, but it fits the structure. A complex, fascinating wine.
