Over the hill and heading toward balsamic vinegar, but still providing Bordeaux pleasure. Complex mix of deep and dark fruit, balsamic, leather, and earth. I wouldn’t buy another bottle because this vintage is not going to last much longer: months and maybe only weeks of drinking window remain. But excellent now. — 14 days ago

This showed the style of the 2009 vintage. However, it lacked some of the teeth & depth I normally get from this producer. Notably off for such a stellar vintage.

Drink je droomwijnen diner@rijks. from magnum and very open and giving from the get go. Warm burgundy fruits, balanced with beautiful oak and a long finish. You cannot not like this wine. While this is ready it still has decade(s) in the tank. — 4 days ago

We had the 2010 vintage on 9/19-20/26. A terrific wine with tastes of blackberry, plum, mocha and lilac. A wonderful bouquet of cedar, eucalyptus and tobacco. Terrific wine from. A great Vintage — 6 days ago

Opened three days earlier. The 2023 pours a deep ruby/purple color with an opaque core; medium+ viscosity with significant staining of the tears. On the nose, the wine is developing with powerful notes of ripe brambles, lavender pastilles, bacon fat, black pepper, and fine baking spices. On the palate, the wine is dry with medium+ tannin and medium+ acid. Confirming the notes from the nose. The finish is medium+. A delightful pairing with Bison ribeye. Young but showing its potential. Drink now through 2043. — 2 months ago

Surprised ratings are low on this. I found it absolutely brilliant. Super smooth and great mouthfeel. Silky tannins, wonderfully balanced, ripe black fruit. — a month ago

Tight, tannic but decidedly pleasant with its grippy-ness. Black cherry, cassis, black plum and smoky tobacco. Power punch up front and finesse on the finish after some decant.

Better with the Rib-cap. The 08 vintage was spotty to good. This one shows the shortcomings of the 08 vintage. Really good fruit, but lacks typical, depth, mid palate, and length.

The nose is class Bordeaux.Ripe to ruby fruits of, black plum skin, slightly syrupy blackberries, plum, dark cherry liqueur, strawberries, dark currants. Dark chocolate cake with glaze, screaming, lead pencil shavings, tobacco, leather, dry riverstone, limestone marl, forest floor with dry leaves, soft, incense, black, licorice, red, cola, dry herbs, tomato, leaf, with dark and red flowers, framed in violets.

The palate is ripe to ruby fruits of, black plum skin, slightly syrupy blackberries, plum, dark cherry liqueur, strawberries, dark currants. Dark chocolate cake with glaze, screaming, lead pencil shavings, deep, dark spice that expands wide, nutmeg, cinnamon stick, caramel and vanillin, dry tobacco with ash, leather, dry riverstone, limestone marl, dry crushed rocks, forest floor with dry leaves, moist clays, soft, incense, black, licorice, red, cola, savory dry herbs, tomato leaf, dry oak barrel shaving to cedar with dark and red flowers, framed in violets, acidity is ok, just not right, finish is good, not great, it falls hard on spice and is short of a minute.

93 with the Rib-cap. Green Bean from my organic gsrden. Drink now through 2035. — a month ago

Delicious! Notice the score here v.s. the en primeur price of around 30€ at the time. And compare that to the grand vin of the same vintage that we also had on the table. Sure, the grand vin will develop and improve one or two points in the coming years, but today they were not that far apart! — 13 days ago
