Tasting Notes
Vinous 94
The 2015 Rapszodia is dark, powerful and unctuous. In this vintage, the Rapszodia is 100% Cabernet Franc. Intensely aromatic and expressive, the 2015 speaks to finesse and nuance above all else. Still a bit shy from its bottling a few months ago, the 2015 is likely to require at least a few years to be at its best. Even so, it is quite expressive today.
Anticipated maturity: 2023-2035
Robert Parker 98+
“Produced from 100% Cabernet Franc, the 2015 Rapszodia has a very deep garnet-purple color and nose of kirsch, cassis, blueberry tart and dark chocolate with hints of violets, pencil shavings, beef drippings and tilled soil. Medium-bodied, incredibly elegant and yet with super-intense red and black fruits, it has a firm structure of grainy tannins and great freshness, finishing long and minerally.”
Anticipated maturity: 2018-2043
