Lifted blackberry and graphite aromas lead to a smooth, supple palate layered with spicy black fruit, sage and mature tannins, finishing with impressive persistence. The 1500ml format is ideal for extended ageing and sharing.\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e\u003cspan style=\"text-decoration: underline;\"\u003eThe Wine Advocate \u003cspan class=\"selectable-text copyable-text\"\u003e|\u003c\/span\u003e \u003cspan style=\"text-decoration: underline; color: rgb(151, 0, 0);\"\u003eRP 91\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cem\u003ePublished: May 30, 2016\u003cbr\u003eDrink: 2016-2030\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eGiven my derisory tasting notes out of barrel, I was gobsmacked by the showing (blind) of the 2006 Reserve de la Comtesse at Farr Vintners' horizontal. It has a lifted bouquet with blackberry and graphite aromas, strict but focused, aloof even. The palate is medium-bodied with supple tannin, smooth in the mouth, but not quite as complex as the nose suggests, with spicy black fruit, graphite and sage towards the finish. I will seek to re-taste this at a later date to reconfirm this showing.
