From the Wine Society's opening offer: "2006 is a great Rhône vintage. Grapes ripened more evenly and produced softer rounder tannins in 2006 than in any vintage since 2000. The vintage was a success across all appellations and the individual characteristics and nuances are clearly and deliciously defined. It was immediately obvious, even a year ago when tasting the 2005s that the 2006s were going to be something special. Indeed, both vintages share certain conditions: a hot June and July, a cooler August and then a return to hot, fine weather in September. The difference was in rainfall. 2005 was marked by severe drought, 2006 less so as rains fell on or around 14th July, 15th August and in early September – just when the vines needed water. As in 2005, the harvest was picked in ideal conditions and the quality of the fruit was outstanding."
