2006 CHÂTEAU ROL VALENTIN Grand Cru Saint Emilion

2006 CHÂTEAU ROL VALENTIN Grand Cru Saint Emilion

Grapes: Origin: France, Bordeaux
Lea & Sandeman review
Quite closed on the nose, but a lovely texture. Pure black fruitiness coats the palate but remains fresh. Tastes real, and really likeable.   91+

Other reviews and comments
Pretty and well made, with a lovely core of fruit and silky tannins. All in balance for the vintage. Almost 92-94   89-91/100
James Suckling, The Wine Spectator
A very attractive, tobacco tinged nose with good definition. Black cherries, cassis and a touch of black coffee. Full-bodied, fine tannins, elegant - in fact something Burgundian about this wine in terms of texture. Very pure black fruits with a touch of burnt toast towards the finish. Lacks a little finesse, but there is good freshness and delineation.   89-91/100
Neal Martin's Wine Journal, erobertparker.com
Bright red-ruby. Black raspberry, dark chocolate and coffee; as is often the case, this reminded me of Vosne-Romanee. Silky-sweet but not particularly thick or pliant; offers lively flavors of blackberry, violet and minerals. A very firm, serious style for this property, finishing with substantial, broad tannins that avoid hardness.   89-91/100
Stephen Tanzer's International Wine Cellar
Smooth, round and suave. Attractive red berry fruit. Tannins finely honed. Not as concentrated as some years but rich, well balanced and harmonious. 2012-18.   ****

Sumptuous, very satisfying nose. Something definitely wild about this. Juicier than most 2006 Saint-Émilions. Nice relaxed wine that should continue to deliver. Not overdone. Not tense, no drying tannins on the finish. 2011-17   17+
