Honeyed and floral. Vanilla, saffron, mango and papaya on the palate. Still fairly fresh and mineral.
Such a beautiful wine.

Wow..! Is this impressive or what?
Very salty and mineral, beautiful acidity and citrus bitterness throughout the entire wine. Gorgeous veins of RS provides charm, depth, richness and impeccable balance.
This mouthwatering feinherb has just entered its drinking window, yet has the structure for another decade or two of positive evolution. Guter Stoff!

Waxy, nutty and floral. Clearly mature, yet there are still some deep yellow fruit notes (dreid apricot, papaya, baked apple) left.
Also hints of vanilla, honeycomb and pumpkin-spice latte.
Really nice.

Meaty, toasty, leather and coffee. Quite masculine and slightly stubborn. Still, there's black fruit and a certain freshness that keeps me coming back for more.
Lovely.

Last bottle :(
What a fantastic wine this is. A real bargain, too.
Rich and dry, piles of beautiful minerals, gorgeous oily bittersweet fruitnotes of orangepeel, lemoncurd and peachskin. Pinches of gasoline, paraffine and honeycomb join the party as well.
Standing tall at the age of 14!

Ruby to purple in the glass. Medium- to full-bodied, classically styled, primary crunchy cherry and blackberryfruit, this has a cool-climate feel with its bright and fresh aromatics, mouthwatering acidity and floral/spicy nuances to boot. Lovely!

Still intact. But it's too ashy and bitter for me.

Better balance and more suppleness on day 2.

2010 World's End Cabernet Sauvignon CrossFire Beckstoffer Missouri Hopper Vineyard

Oakville more

2/5/2024 - jkoenen wrote: 96 points

Had several bottles of this wine in the past 5 years.
And this one is easily the best.
Gorgeously rich and pure on the nose: black cherries, blueberry pancakes, blackberry preserve.
This all echoes on the palate and some well dosed pinches of caramel, cocoa, coffee and toast take the wine to another level. Just enough acidity to give it some fraicheur: soft and ripe tannines backing up the long and incessant finish.
Totally beautiful.

Lovely. Crystalline and quite delicate.
Nose is a little shy and bland.
With the marvelous 2008 in mind, I had slightly higher expectations.

Fill was 4 cm below cork, which was soaked - all the way through.

Bery nice, yet still somewhat tannic and sturdy.
Last april we savored a bottle of this wine during a memorable tasting in a certain Léognan kitchen and I remember that bottle as more generous, hedonistic and polished.

Finally, this wine got into the zone.
The savory austerity and rugged masculinity melted into the wine to reveal a lovely balanced (and maybe even elegant) beauty.

Still quite purple in colour and fruit. Whiffs of baking slices, flowers, menthol and warm pastry as well.
Excellent balance, very easy to like. Not overly complex nor deep, yet highly enjoyable!

Quite stubborn after pop-n-pour.
Black olive, ink and coffee grounds.
Check tomorrow whether balance is restored.

After 3 days, black fruit emerged, and balance was restored indeed. Up a notch.
