Pauillac, Médoc, Bordeaux, France
2015 vintage. With 74% Merlot (and 20% Cabernet Sauvignon, and 6% Cabernet Franc), this is a world of difference compared to the 2022 ( 49% Merlot, 46% Cabernet Sauvignon and 5% Petit Verdot) tasted alongside. We switch from red fruit in the fully mature 2015, to the more black fruit personality of the 2022. While the 2015 is an attractive wine in a lighter style, it is no match for the more powerful and profound 2022,reflecting the impressive progress made here year after year since the Lorenzetti family took over.

Red fruit; simple. Not bad for sure, but not much going on either.

Dinner out! Great red with duck, filet and family. Very smooth, punches above its cost.

Quiet brooder.....good for political debate. Tar and graphite, evolves to coffee bean, a little menthol....anise....young sediment, a touch of spring water may turn off some but for me it quiets it down. Fruit is a distant echo. Easy drinking.
