2015 opened Jan 2024. Less complex than the 2014 that I rated a while back, but I’ll give it the same 8.8 for different reasons. Softer tannic structure. Leather and hint of mint on the nose. The sweet prune scent that was also on the front of the 2014 is missing from the 2015 vintage. Ripe plums on the front. Lots of mineral high notes that start on the mid palate and that create a long finish. Not bad. Not great. Very drinkable.
