Note di degustazione
85% Merlot, 15% Cabernet Franc. Glowing crimson. High-toned nose. Good sleek balance on the palate. Definitely at least a year more advanced than the 2016, but very nicely put together. No excesses. Though you need to wait for the tannins or take them into account with food choices. GV ? (JR)

Tasted blind. Charred nose. Rather bloody start and then some sourness on the end. Soft tannins. Distinctive wine that’s almost ready to drink. Quite marked acidity. (JR)
The 2015 d'Aiguilhe is a rich, voluptuous wine. Raspberry jam, rose petal, spice and licorice infuse this heady, exotic wine from Stephan von Neipperg. I would give the 2015 at least another year or two to come together fully. Mocha, white pepper and chalky notes give the wine an attractive upper register. Tasted two times.
The medium to deep garnet-purple colored 2015 d'Aiguilhe gives up wonderfully expressive warm red and black plums, black cherries and spice box on the nose with touches of dried flowers and fallen leaves. The medium to full-bodied palate has generous fruit with plush tannins and loads of freshness.
