Note di degustazione
Along the same line as Mordoree's Lirac Reine Des Bois, the 2005 Alain Jaume & Fils Lirac Clos de Sixte offers up a relatively modern profile with stunning, pure, clean fruit, impeccable balance and a fine grained, sophisticated tannic structure. On the nose this shows subtle graphite and coffee aromas that blend with blueberry, minerals and roasted herb notes and while it's fruit driven, it has plenty of depth and is far from a fruit bomb. The palate is medium to full bodied with a core of sweet, dark, glass coating fruit, serious structure and a long finish. This needed a couple hours to really show well and was still beautiful on day two.

More tannin, minerality, and structure are found in both cuvees of the Lirac Clos de Sixte. I actually think the 2006 is the more charming of the two wines, and the 2005 seems to have taken on more tannin and closed down since I had it last year. Both are very good examples, with structuralists preferring the 2005, and hedonists preferring the 2006. Take your pick. Importer: Kysela Pere et Fils, Winchester, VA; tel. (540) 722-9228
Dark. Lively and round and very charming. Sweet and succulent. (JR)
