Totally agree with Longfisher. This is drinking spectacularly well. 3hr decant. Drank at slightly below room temperature. Parker’s tasting note spot on. Lovely nose, balanced and very complex on the palate with long slightly grippy yet soft tannins on the persistent tongue coating finish that gently melts away. So good that we were filtering the dregs from the bottom of the bottle! It kept our little tasting group enthralled. Power and elegance. Top tipple!

Opened and decanted for a couple of hours. Having drunk a fair amount of the 2013, which is one of my absolute favourites, I was eagerly anticipating trying the 2015 version. I was disappointed. Though 2015 is significantly younger, I wasn’t expecting it to be as closed and flat as it was. Very little charm (unlike the 2013). Maybe time will help it.

Popped and poured. Classic Bordeaux flavours. Will look to load up at this price ($US26 + tax)
