2022 Château Margaux
3/11/2024 - mxfnck Likes this wine: 98 Points
Very feminine, complex and 'together'. Soft texture, it dances on the palate.
Intense fruit, mouth-coating tannins, immensely broad and 3-dimensional on the palate.
This turned out the one of the big winners of En Primeur week.

1999 Château d'Yquem
11/25/2023 - mxfnck Likes this wine: 94 Points
Bucket List tasting at Wijnkoperij Okhuysen: Open and pretty. Golden color.
Aromas of hazelnut, vanilla, spices and dried fruit.
Rich, thick texture with linear acidity and improbable length. Very cohesive.
Classic, and drinking very well right now.

2006 Château Haut-Brion
11/25/2023 - mxfnck Likes this wine: 95 Points
Bucket List tasting at Wijnkoperij Okhuysen: Quite developed. Dark colour, deep crimson.
Aroma's of toffee, karamel, black coffee, cedar, eucalyptus. Very foresty and animalistic. Super complex, could sit and ponder these aroma's all night. The only thing: where's the fruit? Will that come once it opens up?
Sizzling tannins, so vibrant. Linear texture, a pleasant hardness. The eucalyptus-tone gives it an underlying freshness, lift and levity that sets a Great BDX apart from a good one.
From the first sip it's apparent that you're in the company of celebrity, of greatness. If there had been more red fruit, this would've been 97+ points for me. Could the fruit still develop in a few years?
