Tasting notes
Denis Dubourdieu is a little wary of 2009. Too much water in the soil and vigour in late July? A bit solid and lacking perfume. Quite brutal in structure. Quite dry on the end. (JR)

Denis Dubourdieu’s property. Silly price. Deep crimson. Very ripe. Fairly chewy still but all is in place. Only question is: can you be bothered to give this wine the cellar space it needs? (JR)
The 2009 Reynon is a wonderfully rich wine with notes of kirsch, subtle oak, licorice and a spring flower garden. Hedonistic and essentially a generic fruit bomb, but well-made, pure, with loads of character, this wine should be drunk over het next 3-5 years. Made by the famous Professor Denis Dubourdieu from the School of Oenology in Bordeaux, this is the best wine I think I have ever tasted from this producer of value-priced generic Bordeaux.
Crushed berry, with blueberry jam aromas. Full and velvety, with soft-textured tannins and a good finish. A little hollow, but well done for the appellation
