15 is significantly more elegant.. Seems like parker missed the boat on 15 so gave this a huge score to make up for it. This wines pales in comparison to the 15 elegance depth and complexity... I am just saying.

4/16/20, 6:29 PM - I just found 15 special reminds me of 85, 88 and 97. 16 is amazing but not as elegant more simple one speed type wine seemed to be after the fact rating to me... Blind you can tell the difference but I would not turn down either.

Disappointing oak bomb not a normal flavor profile for Jean Marie.

9/23/18, 7:10 AM - I have this wine back almost to Jean's first vintage. the wine felt overdone or toasty I have the 15 Aux Ezechezaux and its gorgeous and integrated.

Not the best example, some good some not so good with this producer.

jwsmith commented:

2/9/17, 6:41 PM - I have had this wine so many times do to my past exp as distributor. The wine can be amazing one day and flat the next .... its a total crap shoot. Recently the Corton, Rugiens and Epenots all good bit you have to catch this picky wine on the right day...
jwsmith commented:

3/7/17, 6:31 AM - its simple the wine is either consistently good or bad...Sorry seems to be luck of the draw with this producer. I drank an entire case of 2003 with no issues. 05 I have had several bad bottles.
