(93-96 points) A ripe yet airy and cool nose offers up aromas of essence of red and dark raspberry with plenty of floral influence along with subtle spice, earth and herbal tea nuances. There is terrific concentration to the rich and remarkably concentrated medium weight plus flavors that brim with both minerality and sappy dry extract, all wrapped in a saline, balanced and highly persistent finish that just doesn't stop. I often have a very small preference for the Mazis chez Faiveley but in 2015 the Latricières may very well better it.

In spite of the very ripe plums and black cherries on the nose, this has a lot of smoky and flinty notes. Cool, firm and minerally on the palate, and a lot of drive at the finish. This has a couple of decades of aging potential if you can resist it now. - Nick Stock
