Tasting notes
Offers a grippy feel, with a solid tarry frame around the plum and raspberry paste flavors. Stays sleek overall. Apr 2016, James Molesworth, www.WineSpectator.com

Real lift to this. Quite unusually stony and determinedly not going the sweet path. Seems a very honest 'new-fashioned' wine. Apr 2016, www.JancisRobinson.com, Drink: 2024-2038
The 2015 de France is powerful, deep and inky, with plenty of attractive floral/savory overtones. This hearty Pessac-Léognan is a terrific choice for drinking over the next handful of years. Tasted two times. Apr 2016, www.Vinous.com
