Estate director Philippe Dhalluin describes the 2015 vintage. For me, the aromatics of dark ripe fruit and cassis are not as vivid as I recall from last year, but they are subtle and engaging. On the palate, this blend of 82% Cabernet Sauvignon, 16% Merlot and 2% Cabernet Franc exudes some toasted notes, from the oak, with blackberry and cassis. A full-bodied wine – one expects so from Mouton – with a creamy texture overlaying quite a bit of tannin and structure. There is focus and power, along with 1985-like charm, that leads to a long finish. It is an excellent Mouton, if not reaching the heights of 2010. I would like to compare down the road with 2014, which impressed me about as much from barrel last year. 93-95
