Drank 5/27/21.
Picked this bottle up from Total Wine a few years back. It was signed by the winemaker. I remember enjoying it at the time
The nose starts off nice with plum and gravel mixed with a bit of earth. Unfortunately it falls a bit flat on the palate which seems a bit thin. Dark fruits are present, but it does not possess the concentration and depth of the vintage. By no means bad, just a bit disappointing. Perhaps this is in a dumb phase, but I have not experienced a lot of that with other Bordeaux in this price range from the '15 vintage. You can do better for $30
4/20/6/3/3 +50 = 86 pts.

First tried ‘15 about 2 years ago. Léon Nony bought vineyard in 1939, after his death in 1959, his son, Michel, then his grandson, Jean-Marc, continued his work. Blend of Merlot (93%), Cab Franc (4%) & Cab Sauv (3%), aged in French oak (25% new). Dark Ruby with aromas of dark berry fruits and smoky cedar notes. On the palate blackberry flavor with toasty oak, spice & cacao. Attractive tannins, ok balance, medium+ finish ending with an oaky earthy character. Ok for price, drink now, no further aging benefit!

Packed cherry, spiced plum, earth. Not profoundly complex but good mid range right bank.

The 2015 is a pleasure. Smooth dark fruits, graphite and earth with a long smooth finish that bring the joy of Bordeaux to your table at the $20-$30 range. Solid value
