Pleasant, quite intense smell of dark fruit and balanced oak. On the palate a dense, concentrated wine with soft tannins. Dark fruit with some tertiary flavors. Enormous length. Needs no aeration or maybe a little (30 minutes) and doesn't need decanting since there's no sediment. Drink now or next year. Food pairing: roast chicken with baked potatoes and haricots verts with bacon. Worked very well.

Light to medium bodied despite the ABV on the label. Relatively pale in color compared to others from the vintage. Red fruited nose and palate. Not much substance. Bitter finish.

PnP. For a warmer 2015 vintage, and with 14.5% alcohol, this drank nothing like what I expected. The alcohol was not noticeable and the acid structure was surprisingly nice. The oak was well integrated and not at all in the foreground. A very red fruited wine with loads of cherry and cranberry, and the finish had an earthiness that I wasn't able to put my finger on.
I think this should be consumed sooner rather than later. IMO, drink now-2025.
85% Merlot/15% Cabernet Franc. 90 points.
