March 23, 2024 - Better than our last bottle (from 2 years ago), this is aging nicely, with full dark fruits and savory, smoky charcoal notes. Little bit of ink and lead pencil as well. Surprising depth for such a humble wine, this will improve for a number of years. Excellent QPR.

December 30, 2023 - Nase: intensives, komplexes Bouquet, leicht fruchtig, etwas Rauch, Leder
Gaumen: mittelkräftig, knackige Säure, reife, staubige Gerbstoffe, langer Abgang mit herber Note. «One moment later» ist er geschmeidig, harmonisch und bekömmlich.
Fazit: Der 2016er le Doyenné ist zwar schon sehr trinkbar, aber eine gute Portion O2 (Sauerstoff) lässt ihn erst richtig aufblühen. Für mich ein klares Zeichen, dass er noch einige Jahre vor sich hat. Preislich sehr interessant, kann ich diesen Wein jedem empfehlen, der sich an Bordeaux-Weine herantasten möchte. Bordeaux haftet bekanntlich etwas Elitäres an, obwohl die Mehrzahl der Winzer eher preiswerte und überwiegend gute bis sehr gute Weine produziert. Wenn man bedenkt, dass von den mehreren tausend Weingütern nur einige hundert wirklich sehr bekannt sind und dementsprechend hohe Preise erzielen, kann man sich vorstellen, dass die meisten Weingüter eher preisgünstig angesiedelt sind. Dieser hier ist günstig und hat eine tolle Qualität, also absolut kaufenswert. -

May 5, 2023 - After cellaring for five years decided to pop one for science. Lovely dark color. Tart and thin out of the bottle, this needed an hour of air to open. Killer nose of cassis, dried fig, parchment, leather, cedar. Medium bodied, savory and dry. Classic Rimmerman offering and a crazy deal at $10. Drink now with decant or hold a few more years.
