Domaine Boudau ~ Patrimoine 2006

This delightful wine has overcome his peak. The taste is still outstanding but it finishes extreme dry. The dominating overriped fruit is still luring. Beautiful flavor. Bread Crust in the nose. Excellent balance, nice fresh touch. A lot of chocolate and nougat. Exceptional. Heart-warming.
