Tasting Notes
Vinous 87-89
The 2015 Claret offers good purity of fruit, but it also comes across as a bit reticent today. I tasted the 2015 from tank just prior to bottling, which may account for this slightly awkward showing.
Robert Parker 90
“Composed of 68% Cabernet Sauvignon, 18% Merlot, 6% Syrah, 4% Malbec and 4% Petit Verdot, the medium garnet-purple colored 2015 Claret has a fantastic combination of red and black fruits-black raspberries, black plums, redcurrants and black cherries-with suggestions of cigar box and menthol. Medium to full-bodied, it has a firm, chewy structure and a great core of crunchy fruit, finishing long and earthy.”
Anticipated maturity: 2018-2027
