"Full red-ruby. Sexy aromas of blackberry, blueberry, licorice, minerals and violet. Wonderfully precise and vibrant, with terrific cut to its intense flavors of dark berries and violet. But this infant is still youthfully tight and bound-up. A bit rounder on the back end, finishing with excellent grip and length and a lingering hint of licorice. Dugat presented his '06s before his '07s, as he feels that the younger vintage "shows more volume and sturdiness than 2006, with a similar level of acidity." He clearly views the '07s as riper than the '06s but emphasizes that it's not simply a question of grape sugars. In my tastings, I was intrigued by the distinctly firm edge of a number of the 2006s, which gives them excellent thrust. Incidentally, Dugat's Bourgogne rouge is excellent in both vintages: sexy, lush and sweet in 2007 and juicy, spicy and vibrant in 2006, with distinctly black flavors. In 2007, Dugat started picking on the first of September, bringing in fruit with 12.5% to 13% natural alcohol and chaptalizing about a half-degree."
