2006 is a vintage considered by many as somewhat meh, not 2007, but still meh. I think they haven’t got a clue. These days I find myself at restaurants pretty much going for anything 2004 or 2006. They both present good value and are on the most part ready now.
The 2006 Sirene de Giscours was one of the first wines I had when arriving here and I though it looked pretty good, however, the estate wine is a notch above. Earth and tobacco give nice complexity to the red fruits on the nose. The palate is medium bodied much like many of the other Margaux I have tried from the vintage. The red fruit carries through the long finish. Drinking well now. 90 points
