A fruit driven nose and palate. Fresh, linear and leathery with a touch of sweet floral note, sage and pine fragrance. Good length and power in the medium-bodied structure. Tannins are grippy but ripe, providing the much needed support to balance the rich fruit and acidity. Ready to drink now and for the next 3-5 years.

Like the other 2015 Left Bank, this has good concentration with good balance of ripe fruits, fragrant wood spices and herbaceous tobacco on the forward nose and persistent palate. Rich and fresh at the same time. Full-bodied structure that is huge and linear. Nice elegance towards the end of the mid-palate. Ready to drink now with an hour in the decanter for the bold aromatics to settle down. This has at least 10 years of drinking window.

This wine needs at least an hour in the glass to open up. Fragrant toasted coconut, ripe red fruits, a touch of fresh sage and toasted cinnamon stick. Palate is fresh and clean, good density and persistence on the medium-bodied structure. Some ripe tannins towards the finish, extending the impression with dry red fruits. Ready to drink with an hour of decanting. Still young and will develop for the next 5 years.
