  Red and dark berries, juicy acidity, a light dose of pleasant oak. Round acidity and a good length. The wine entered its young maturity stage and will offer pleasant drinking the coming 3 – 4 years.

  In the bouquet red and dark berries, some minerals and day 3 some chocolate as well. On the palate the same impressions, a pleasant, light dose of oak, good acidity, round tannin with still some bite and some length. Not great, but certainly good. In its early maturity stage now and when stored properly ok until 2028+

  3 of 4 bottles and almost two years since the last bottle. A much better experience than the first two bottles. A lot more darker fruit and less sour cherry. May forget about the last bottle for a few more years and see what happens.

  Bought at winery in 08/2018, bought the split for crazy low price. Drank entirely tonight, Varietally correct, but a bit of a fruit bomb, not as balanced as better Bordeaux. That said enjoyable and plenty of life left. Speaks well for 2015 Bordeaux aging well and long.
