2006 de Fieuzal, Pessac-Leognan

[finner]

1st night: Fairly tight at first, with a textbook gravelly nose, some firm tannins make their presence known. After about an hour this opens up nicely, some sweet secondary fruit balances things out. 3rd night: this has settled down easy and not lost a step, bottle sweetness is there in spades. Lacking a little complexity, but who cares? Very enjoyable even on its own. 89 pts

I'm glad someone likes this estate!

Parker went gaga for the 05 of this, giving it 94 pts I see.

I've had more than a few disappointments with this estate: lily-livered reds and poxed whites.

However recent vintages are looking up.

The white, when it's in fine fettle, is very good.
