Tasted the 2015 by the glass to compare to the 2009. Smoother, warmer, sweeter, softer. Delicious but not as energetic.

Sweet honey. Could have used a bit of zing. Perhaps it was too young?

Stone fruit and citrus combination. Sparkling acidity, not overly sweet. Some evolution, with caramel and cinnamon finish. Lovely wine. 2001 vintage

Solid but doesn't have the acidity I've observed in other vintages. Makes it more cloying.
