This wine is medium bodied. Its tannins have softened. The wine is delicate, with a soft bouquet of cherries, rose petal and violets. The wine is very elegant and the flavors are subtle.

Chateau Mylord Bordeaux 2006 -- "This delicious, supple, fruity vin gourmande reveals surprisingly good cherry and mountain berry fruit as well as fine texture and length. Not far off the pace of its delicious predecessor, it should be enjoyed over the next 2-3 years. Good value." . . .
