2010 vintage on 21.11.18
Beautiful purple red color. Coffee and milkchocolate nose. Red and black fruit. Waves of taste roll over and over. Finish over the minute. Tanins not disturbing and already nicely integrated. — 7 years ago

Everything great Bordeaux should be. Cork crumbled in the Durand but first sniff and I knew it was on. Waves of saddle leather, tobacco, cedar, forrest floor and cherries. The wine was intense but more feminine than I expected, a great balance. Truly one of the best and most memorable bottles I've had the last few years. This is what drinking wine is all about, experiences that shake you to your core. — 10 years ago

Waves of cassis tinged with bell pepper, profound and classic Lynch. Still with plenty of tannin and life, sensational! — 7 years ago

Hot off the truck... I love the sweet-tart elegance and crisp, very clean finish. Hints of citrus (read blood-orange and ruby red grapefruit!), baking spice and a zippy laser-like finish promise to make this wine a spring/summer favorite. Kudos to the guys at Radio-Coteau for the third year in a row. So far my California 2016 roses have all been great! — 9 years ago

Dark red/purple to red rim. Red apple skin, rose, dried sour cherry on nose after 30 minutes in the glass, more iron and paint thinner when first opened. Medium acidity, waves of iron, earth and spice in the mouth, subtle fruit, slightly bitter and peppery finish. — 10 years ago

Wow! Zesty, got straight up dryed lemongrass with lemon juice, pith and a hard under ripe apricot and pith, and wild white flowers, that's pours acid all over your tongue that cascades with waves of minerality, the weight, the texture, the acid, so on point.
Sure to be a benchmark. — 11 years ago

@Ted Corvey Held onto it as long as I could. That's not to say I was saving it, but I just was waiting for the right time. Tonight was that time. I took refuge from the hordes playing Pokemon outside and cracked this bottle and poured a glass. Despite the deep purple robe, it doesn't even do the flavor justice. Humongous waves of plum, blackberry, and black cherry give way into cayenne with a hint of something I can't quite put my nose on. Huge tannins leave the palette simultaneously dry and salivating. It's a great wine, only deducted points because it's not my preferred style. Still, this is a wine to be respected. — 9 years ago

Freakishly good. Extracted nose of kirsch, smoke, burnt meat fat. Leather and scorched earth. Beautiful acidity and dark black fruit in waves. Years to go. — 10 years ago
