2006 Generally a strong class of wines with few faults. Many wines lacked the intensity and punch to take them to the top level. Some wines that contained Chardonnay were too dominated by the variety and in the judges opinion not in style. Top wines were good examples of a range of styles, some with very classy use of oak.
