Tasting notes
The 2015 Mauvesin Barton is beginning to fulfill the promise it showed from barrel. Black cherries and strawberry define that somewhat plush but focused nose. The palate is medium-bodied, supple and balanced with a smooth sheen on the long finish. This is well worth seeking out. Tasted blind at the Southwold 2015 Bordeaux tasting.

Tasted blind. Mid crimson. Loose and unstructured. Diffuse. (JR)
The 2015 Mauvesin Barton is floral, perfumed and lifted, all of which make it absolutely delicious to drink now. Blue fruit, lavender, mint and spice nuances are layered into the wine's fabric. All the elements are very nicely balanced.
Light, fresh and aromatic. Relatively light-bodied. Pretty and very round on the palate but then a little inky on the end. (JR)
