94 Points

Saturday, July 18, 2015 - A private dinner (Restaurant Chez Bruce *, Wandsworth, London, UK): Lively appearance, starts to brown at the edges; explosive nose, bursting with red berry fruit, fruity black pepper, granite, thyme, lifted floral aromas, precise, transparent and deep, still quite primary; medium weight, does not lack concentration but focuses on elegance and finesse in this lighter vintage, silky texture, lovely spicy warmth, subtle grip from beautifully ripe tannins; complete finish, very good length. A feminine Hermitage that resembles a Côte Rôtie in its expression. Loses its fragrance and finesse after some 90 minutes, so definitely not one for the decanter. Merveilleux.
