La Roquette 2005
Vieille Julienne 2006
Marcoux 2005
For me, the heads and tales wine above them all was the Vieille Julienne. Simply showing amazing right now...forrest floor, truffles. My exact note reads, "walking through forrest in October hunting black truffles..."
For the most part the 2006s were totally shut down. They were blocky and heavy, and overall I found myself worrying if their fruit there that would eventually show itself, or were the wines all tannin and structure? They're in an awkward stage and are solidly vins du garde right now.
On a side note, the La Roquette- which is considered a value Chateauneuf- showed beautifully. Little more meaty and heavy than the Julienne, but lovely and excellent considering the price.
