“On the nose, the 2006s are unsurprisingly quite similar: dried fruit, subtle spice and wood notes. What stands out for me in the direct comparison is a mineral note, which also remains present on the palate. In addition, the obligatory prune, leather, licorice, wood, some roasted aromas, and caramel sweetness. Aromatically quite with appealing complexity. For me, the light minerality is the most recognizable feature. For the comparison to the 1994 representatives, I repeat my impressions of the other 2006s: much less heaviness, the plum notes occur here rather in tandem with currant, the dark tones of wood, licorice, leather and caramel are much less pronounced. I am inclined - despite the aromatic complexity of this bottling - to speak of "REV Light." While the spectrum of 2006s also has its charm and the character is undeniably recognizable, in my eyes the REV profile benefits extremely from the long aging and resulting complexity. However, the reference points can also be described as almost unfair for the younger bottlings, especially for proven lovers of the 1994 REVs.”

“Tasted together with the Rome de Luxe Guyana REV 2006! They are quite similar... but the Milano has a bit more of the classic flavors and the mineral! That gives im a few points more!”

“Encore un très beau représentant des Versailles REV. Pour être juste entre eux il faudrait les comparer ensemble. Je dois dire que j'aime beaucoup ces profils, c'est vraiment dans mes goûts. Donc même note que le RomDeLuxe collectors car je le trouve aussi plaisant!”
