Tasting notes
The 2015 Ferrière has a rich, fruit-driven bouquet that offers ample kirsch, fig and cassis aromas but lacks the focus of Boyd-Cantenac or Cantenac-Brown. The palate is medium-bodied with sappy red fruit, quite sweet and candied and missing Bordeaux typicity toward the finish. Strange showing. I was expecting more. Tasted blind at the Southwold 2015 Bordeaux tasting.

Tasted blind. Dark crimson. Very lifted nose. A bit soupy. Lacks freshness. But you could enjoy it in the short term. (JR)
The 2015 Ferrière is terrific. Black cherry, plum, lavender and spice give the 2015 its super distinctive dark profile. Juicy and generous on the palate, the 2015 has developed into a very nice Margaux that plays on the darker end of the fruit spectrum. The 2015 is dense and powerful, but also impeccably balanced.
The 2015 Ferriere is medium to deep garnet-purple in color with black plums and crushed black currants on the nose with hints of damp soil, fungi and cedar chest. The medium-bodied palate is a little lean but refreshing with lively fruit and a chewy frame.
