Bought a bottle for 29e at a local "countercult" wine bar/shop in urban France that feels people-loving but seems pricey (on/off premise price is same). Best Wine-searcher Pro is 17e across vintages and for the '15. Light golden color; fragrant spicy stone fruit nose that follows on body with hint of honey, very good mouthfeel. Delicious and might buy at best retail. My evaluation: I've stopped giving scores on a "100-point scale" as I've become less convinced that they can be meaningful to others. I use a 4-category scale (perhaps with +/-)--not including flawed--which runs outstanding/notable/drinkable/poor. I considered this notable when considering quality, age, and price.
