WTN: 2006 Alain Graillot Croze Hermitage

I am a fan of this producer, having just had his 05 not so long ago. Today's bottle was consumed at lunch with a business contact in Toronto.

Nice elegant nose slightly sweet impressions. Deep but somewhat translucent garnet in colour. Medium + body wine but very structured, crunchy red fruit but more tart then sweet, tannic structure. Needed a lot of air to bet this to open up. May need a couple of years to come all together but another nice wine from Graillot, not the equal of his 05 but comparable to his 04, perhaps fresher.
