Louis Barruol finds his 2006 northern Rhone wines to be more restrained than the 2005s, but believes that their low pHs will lift them, like Burgundies. In the south, he says, "the 2006s are a lot like the '99s, with more ripeness and great freshness. They will be delicious young but will also age." He pointed out that "20 years ago, 2006 would have been considered an extremely ripe year but now it's a normal one." As for his 2005s from both ends of the river, he advised putting them away "because it would be a shame to drink them now." He also made a point of saying that he is extremely happy with how the 2004s are turning out, especially in the south.
