Sort of made a mistake here. I had ordered this thinking of another 15' Jaboulet wine I had in a tasting years back. Turns out it was the La Petite Chapelle after I digging up my notes. That I enjoyed immensely (even more so than the La Chapelle). This I didn't. Fruity and meaty. Finishes a little warm and short. Nothing wrong, but boring as can be. Inexpensive, so it's alright.
