Vital concentrated crimson. A bit sweet toasty oaky on the nose. Oak is a little dominant on the palate too. Slightly astringent finish. 16+

Notes torréfiées. Nez marqué par l’élevage. Il se caractérise au palais par une chair assez ample, une présence fruitée agréable. Le tanin est fin, savoureux et la finale fruitée et fraîche.

Finesse in style with freshness in the finish, earth, caramel and black cherries create the nose of this soft, medium-bodied wine. .

After a so-so 2014, the excellent 2015 Château Desmirail makes amends. It comes with a very comely, feminine and perfumed nose brandishing a whole bunch of rose petals in the glass. The palate is very well balanced, fleshy but still structured with fine grain tannin. It feels a little oaky towards the finish, but that should be subsumed with 4-5 years in bottle. One to check out after 3-4 years when it has found its groove.

Allonge svelte et racée, belle onctuosité, fraîcheur noble. Sans doute le plus réussi de l’histoire récente, très parfumé, sans faiblesse au point de vue du corps et avec l’allonge de terroirs de haute qualité. Grand rapport qualité-prix probable.

The 2015 Desmirail is plump and juicy. Black cherry, plum, mocha, spice, new leather and mint flesh out in a decidedly forward, succulent Margaux built for near term drinking. This is a solid effort from proprietor Denis Lurton.

Lovely expression of cassis Cabernet fruit with Margaux charm and lift. This third growth is really coming into its classification. 2021-2030

Barrel Sample. While spicy wood dominates the aroma of this wine, on the palate there is a fresh suggestion of black fruits. It is dry, although the fruit will certainly continue to develop. 90 points

Very dark crimson. Slight edge of Marmite/yeast extract. Then very sweet, gentle and Margauxish on the palate. Firm and impressive. Drink 2024-2038

A lovely beam of crushed plum and blackberry fruit is carried by velvety tannins, ending with a warm ganache note on the finish.—J.M.
