...This is not the perfect 100-point 2006, but damn close. Loads of black cherries and spices on the nose. Full-bodied, with a beautiful core of fruit. Long and gorgeous finish. This is so long and beautiful to taste. Lasts for minutes... James Suckling

Ruby red in the glass with marked viscosity and bright fruit. Fig, cherry tobacco and sandalwood. A bit of a dropped finish slides this down a couple notches for me.

Another lovely Casanova, elegant robust and tempting. I had several vintages with consistent great experience! Deep dark garnet color, lovely charming aromas of dark chocolate, coffee, black current , cherries. Vanilla and light touch of sweet spice, full body, firm tannins that need time to open up, lovely acidity and a luscious sexy finish. A true pleasure. My score 90, drink 2016-2025 perhaps longer

17.5 deep and complex nose, very full on palate, long. Some brown on rim, but will hold at least 5 years.
