Domaine de la Mordorée - La Reine Des Bois Lirac 2006 (750ml) Sémillon The 2018 Barde-Haut is aNot quite the superb value this was in earlier vintages, the 2006 Queen of the Woods is still an excellent wine, from its knockout nose of cedar, baking spices, blueberry and black cherry to its full, rounded mouthfeel and long, softly tannic finish. Tasted again several months later, the oak is less apparent, suggesting at last five years or so of aging potential.
