It was not included in my February report on the bottled 2006s, but the 2006 Les Asteries, which I rated 93+, is a backward, mineral-laced effort displaying considerable austerity. However, it is packed and stacked in the mouth. This is a 2006 that has completely closed down, but it is oozing with potential. I do not think it will ever achieve the greatness of the 2008, but it is a noteworthy success for the vintage. Cellar it for 3-4 years, and drink it over the following 15.
