Domaine Roquète Rouge 2006
RVF – NOV 2009
Le 2006 a un nez frais, épicé, tandis que la bouche est ferme, un rien carrée pour le moment. Le vin est replié sur sa structure avec des tanins saillants. Finale légèrement abrupte, mais belle pureté de fruit. 17/20
IWC – JAN-FEV 2009 – JOSH REYNOLDS
90 ($38) Vivid red. Bright red berry, floral and mineral aromas are complicated by smoked meat and herbs. Very fresh on the palate, offering sweet red and dark berry flavors, gentle tannins and good back-end cut. There\’s a pinot-like precision to this wine that\’s really intriguing. Finishes brisk and clear.
RVF – JUIN 2007 – ROBERTO PETRONIO
15.5-17 – Nez très doux, notes de caoutchouc, chocolat et fruit noir. Corps profond, belle densite, une pointe d’alcool en finale.
INTERNATIONAL WINE CELLAR –136 FEB/JAN 08 – JOSH REYNOLDS
90-93 –Deep ruby. The nose offers a seductive bouquet of smoky raspberry and cherry, complemented by fresh flowers and baking spices. Sweet red fruit flavors are accented by licorice and bitter chocolate, and finish with impressive focus and grip. This is strikingly elegant.
JANCISROBINSON.COM – 4 JAN 2008
16.5 – drink 2016-30 – The Brunier brothers blend from several different terroirs is fresh and lively on the nose with fine, sandy tannins. There’s moderately good punch but it’s overall a little restrained somehow. The tannins are pretty dominant at this stage. Wait. Less impressive than I remember the 2004 being.
WINE ADVOCATE – 30 OCT 2008 – N°179 – ROBERT PARKER
89 – from a strong vintage it boasts a deep ruby / purple color followed by beautiful notes of kirsh liqueur, licorice, spring flowers, and a hint of underbrush. Peppery, spicy, elegant, rich, full-bodied, and long, with surprising structure for the vintage, It will benefit from 1-2 years of bottle age, and should age well for 15-18 years.
WINE ADVOCATE – 31 OCT 2007 – N°173 – ROBERT PARKER
(89-91) – it is a wine of exceptionnal elegance. Revealing plenty of strawberry jam, kirsh, licorice, earth, and flower characteristics, it is a medium to full-bodied, precocious effort with supple tannin, low acidity, and loads of fruit as well as purity. It should drink beautifully for 10-15 years.
