Lucie & Auguste Lignier, Clos Roche other_regions_italy smoke and spices on the unfiltered 2006 Cabernet Sauvignon smoke and spices on the finish This wine is absorbing its oak (100% new) very smoothly Here too there is a mildly macerated nose but with better overall complexity as the layering is impressive and it carries over to the rich full and very serious flavors that possess excellent mid palate concentration and focused power that is underpinned by very firm tannins that are bigger and slightly more rustic than those of the Charmes but there is also more buffering material as well as slightly better overall phenolic maturity
