Score 92/100 · Stephen Tanzer, Vinous, May 2009

Good medium ruby-red. Brooding aromas of black fruits, licorice, tar and fresh herbs; a bit less harmonious on the nose than the young 2006. Then dense and lush on the palate, with a nicely restrained sweetness to the flavors of black fruits, minerals and iodine. This is clearly less ripe than the 2007 but nonetheless boasts very good stuffing and length.

Score 89+/100 · Robert Parker, Wine Advocate, Dec 2008

Notes of crushed rocks, spring flowers, black raspberries, and currants emerge from the austere, tannic, medium to full-bodied, tough-textured 2006 Cabernet Sauvignon. It seems like a long distance runner, but I am not sure it will ever have the complexity, charm, or joy of either the 2005 or 2007. Give it 3-4 years of bottle age and drink it over the following 15 years.
