Decanter, December 2017

With a smudge of soft oak on the nose, this is big and ripe in its expression, a beautiful wine that has the balance and polish of a classic Pessac. It's austere and needs time to open, but shows how Pessac has come of...

Blackberry and plums sit amid violets, earthy notes and gentle, hazelnut oak. The palate delivers attractively smooth, supple tannins that carry long flavors of fresh dark cherries. Try from 2020.

Wine Enthusiast, April 2018

This wine is a little austere, while showing good aging potential. It has spice, acidity and the weight of fruit as it develops. With its juicy berry flavors still submerged by the firm tannins, it will take its time...

Medium bodied, with a nose already showing secondary notes of tobacco, tar, espresso bean, dark red fruits and forest scents. Soft, polished, silky and sweet, the wine delivers freshness and character in an open style...

The 2015 De Fieuzal Bordeaux Blend from Pessac Leognan, France, is a noteworthy red wine that has garnered high praise from several professional reviewers. This wine, produced by De Fieuzal, is sealed with a cork and contains 14.0% alcohol by volume. The vintage has been particularly well-received, with multiple reviewers assigning it a score of 94.

James Suckling of jamessuckling.com describes the wine as having "blackberry and plums sit amid violets, earthy notes and gentle, hazelnut oak." He highlights the wine's "attractively smooth, supple tannins that carry long flavors of fresh dark cherries." Suckling recommends trying this wine from 2020, suggesting that it benefits from a few years of aging.

Wine Enthusiast also awarded the 2015 De Fieuzal a score of 94, noting its potential for aging. The review points out that the wine is "a little austere, while showing good aging potential." It mentions that the wine has "spice, acidity and the weight of fruit as it develops." The reviewer advises waiting until 2025 to drink this wine, as its "juicy berry flavors [are] still submerged by the firm tannins."

Decanter echoes these sentiments, giving the wine another 94 score and describing it as "big and ripe in its expression, a beautiful wine that has the balance and polish of a classic Pessac." The review notes that the wine is "austere and needs time to open," but praises its "luscious and generous" qualities balanced with elegance. Decanter suggests that the wine has "put on layers" during aging and recommends drinking it between 2023 and 2038.

Jeff Leve from TheWineCellarInsider.com gives the wine a slightly lower score of 92 but still praises its qualities. His review highlights the wine's "medium bodied" nature and notes that the nose is already showing "secondary notes of tobacco, tar, espresso bean, dark red fruits and forest scents." Leve describes the wine as "soft, polished, silky and sweet," emphasizing its freshness and character. He mentions that the wine offers "early drinking pleasure" while also having the potential to age for up to two decades.

Overall, the 2015 De Fieuzal Bordeaux Blend is a well-balanced and polished wine that has received excellent reviews for its aging potential, complex flavors, and elegant structure.
