Mørk rubinrød med sorte refleksioner. Meget aromatisk, intenst æterisk næse af søde røde og fine sorte kirsebær med lidt marcipan (som Barolo Monfortino!) er, som i det foregående år, slottets kendetegn. Den reneste finesse. Lidt mælkechokolade, café au lait, moskus, Amarena-kirsebær, overdådigt i en så utrolig forførende duft. Intensiteten og drømmeagtigheden i næsen er Bourgogne, indholdet er endnu mere Barolo Monfortino eller Chateau Rayas fra Chateauneuf du Pape, vi er utvivlsomt ankommet her i drømmevinenes mindre premier league. Ikke for power-drikkere! Smagen er meget hurtig, totalt domineret af sorte kirsebær, fin syre og rige, silkeagtige, fløjlsagtige tanniner, hvis enorme dimension først kommer til syne i den ultralange finish. Vinen har masser af sødmefuld kraft. Cassis og ribs dukker også op i anden slurk, en ultrapoleret, poleret fornøjelsesvin, aldrig fed, næsten forbløffende for det potentielt fede år med sin raffinerede, friske finish. 100/100

Jeb Dunnuck om: Chateau Beausejour Duffau-Lagarrosse 1er Grand Cru Classe B

A blend of 77% Merlot, 19% Cabernet Franc, and the rest Cabernet Sauvignon, the 2009 Beausejour (Duffau Lagarrosse) is utter perfection, and man, what a wine. Deep, inky, incredibly concentrated, yet also silky and weightless, it delivers that rare mix of intensity and weightlessness on the palate. Offering layers of blackcurrants, crushed flowers, lead pencil, incense and loads of spice-box, it shows the intensity and rich of the 2009 vintage yet is perfectly balanced, has building tannins, and a huge finish. It’s as good as it gets. Give bottles another 4-5 years and enjoy over the following 2-3 decades. 100/100

The intensity on the nose is instantly noticeable. The strong aromas of juicy plums, crushed stone, flowers, oceanic nuances and herbs pop right in front of you. The fireworks however is on the palate. The wine is incredibly concentrated, full-bodied, rich, flamboyant and sexy. The fruit is energetic, pure, velvety, long and intense. The wine fills your palate with sweet fruits and doesn't want to leave, which is a good thing as you don't want it to stop! 2009 marks the initial vintage for the team of Nicolas Thienpont, where they were in charge of everything from start to finish. 100/100

Parker om: Chateau Beausejour Duffau-Lagarrosse 1er Grand Cru Classe B

This big wine (nearly 15% natural alcohol) is a blend of 77% Merlot, 19% Cabernet Franc and 4% Cabernet Sauvignon. It boasts an opaque blue/purple color along with a gorgeous bouquet of charcoal, incense, truffles, blackberry jam, black currants, raspberries and flowers. While enormous in the mouth, the limestone soils in which the grapes are grown give the wine good freshness as well as laser-like clarity and precision. Amazing to taste, this massive, super-concentrated powerhouse comes across as ethereal and almost feminine despite its extravagant fruit, density and richness. It is a modern day legend for sure! 100/100
