The 2015 Haut Coulon is much bigger and darker than it was from barrel. The Petit Verdot component is much more evident today, in both the wine's flavor profile and its overall structural feel. Scorched earth, tobacco, dried herb and dark fruit are given an extra level of concentration and richness by fermentation in barrel. (Antonio Galloni, Vinous, Feb 2018)
