Dried and more rustic than I have remembered this estate, especially in a fairly generous vintage as 2015. Note that this is more classically styled and is probably built for longer term aging...
Nonetheless I've enjoyed other vintages of this wine much younger and much older more than this...
Perhaps and off bottle?
Wish I had bought more 2015 when it was available.

Macerated violets, cherry butter, crisp dead leaves, seaside walks on gray mornings...another quality Fronsac.

Gorgeous, pristine - downright youthful w/gobs of black fruit (cherry, plum, blackberry & prune). Also sporting minerals, fig, clay, loam, soil & spice. Seamless integrated tannins & great persistence on finish. You can find great value in Fronsac

Super elegant and powerful at the same time. It has lovely violet aromas, red and black berries, smooth and powerful tannins and a full body. Lovely at 6 years of age, would love to taste with 10-12 years of age... A bargain too.

Great daily drinker! Round and soft all at the same time - nice sweet black cherry on the nose with a bit of limestone coming through too. Blueberry, graphite, and more sweet black cherry on the palate.. Nice wine for the money.

Lots of grippy tannin and structure. Blueberries, some blackberries on the nose. Graphite. Not the most complex wine and the finish is short and chalky.
