The only 2015 I was able to taste was the 2015 Côte Rôtie and it’s a beauty. Deep ruby/purple colored, with lots of violet, lavender, gamey meat and berry fruits, it’s medium to full-bodied, has good acidity, and a charming, elegant, already accessible style. Drink it anytime over the coming decade.
