Probablement l'une de mes plus belles bouteilles de Boulay. C'est puissant, complexe et digeste en même temps. La baisse de l'acidité fait place a des fruits encore bien présent mais un peu plus murs. Nous sommes moins sur la pomme mais plus sur la poire et peu-être un peu de fruits jaunes. Je vais attendre un peu pour ma dernière bouteille mais c'est vraiment parfait a ce stade.

Medium-low intensity nose of lemon and herbs. Round, juicy stone fruit mouthfeel, with lemons, slightly underripe pineapple, and green herbs. Round, juicy mouthfeel. Lasting acidity. Yummy.

5 years since my last bottle and things have really settled in nicely since then. Somewhat atypical, perhaps because it is a 2015, this has an exotic tint but still yields a wonderful and complex frame. Acidity is not tasted but its presence is there, keeping things fresh and spry. At peak, no need to age further.

1st of 4 bottles. Enjoyed over 2 nights with dinner. This wine showed a bit more of the ripe side of SB, quite tasty, but lush and less incisive on the finish. A bit too much honey and not enough grapefruit bite, but that is mostly personal preference. Drink now through 2025 or so.
