The 2006 Noble was sourced from vines over 70 years of age. The wine was aged in barrel for 21 months. It emits an aromatic array of smoke, pencil lead, mineral, truffle, blackberry, and licorice. This is followed by a dense, plush, thick, and structured wine that will continue to unwind for another 5-7 years. It should be in its prime from 2016 to 2036.
