  Vintage notes: "The 2015 vintage began with the water tables nicely replenished. The particularly hot and sunny weather of early April set off a rapid and regular bud-burst. This exceptional homogeneity was to continue through the other stages of the vine s development this year. All the key stages proceeded in ideal conditions: the beautiful weather at the end of May and early June allowed the flowering to take place quickly and evenly for each of the different grape varieties. As this incredibly beautiful weather stayed with us, we observed a moderate hydric stress from midJuly, very beneficial at this stage for the synthesis of the polyphenol precursors. The welcome rainfall at the end of July and through early August arrived just in time to allow a quick and even colour change. From mid-August to harvest-time, the final ripening stages continued through alternating sunny periods and stormy rain showers. A mild month of September ensured the grapes maintained a wonderful aromatic freshness."

97 / 100 Adrian van Velsen - vvWine.ch

2015 Vintage Tasted: Jun 2021

Kräftiges Rubin. Zurückhaltende, noble, noch etwas vom Holz geprägte Nase, noch sehr jugendlich, deutet eine grosse, aromatische Komplexität an, doch ist noch weit weg von einem «expressiven» Bouquet. Im Auftakt straff, jugendlich, frisch und noch ungestüm, äusserst präzis, hochelegant, saftig, knackig und balanciert, der Wein scheint über die Zunge zu schweben, zieht sich im Abgang sehr lange hin und endet rotfruchtig. Ein Hit und in dieser Serie mein Lieblingswein. Grandios, aber bitte noch einige Jahre warten… Ab 2027 bis 2047+

2015 Vintage Tasted: Mar 2019

Dunkles Rubingranat, violette Reflexe, zarte Randaufhellung, Feine Nuancen von Nougat und Lakritze, frisches Brombeerkonfit und von zarter Edelholzwürze unterlegt, ein Hauch von Karamell im Hintergrund, facettenreiches Bukett. Saftig, elegant, wieder angenehme Kirschfrucht, feine, gut integrierte Tannine, mineralisch und anhaftend, wirkt bereits durchaus zugänglich, verfügt über stattliche Reifereserven. Peter Moser

Schon fast burgundischer Las Cases, der Fülle und Dichte mit Rasse und Spannung vereint und auch die Eleganz nicht in die Ecke stellt.

97 / 100 Jeff Leve, The Wine Cellar Insider

2015 Vintage Tasted: May 2018

Dark in color and fruit, this is powerful, concentrated, firm, elegant and really packs a punch. The deep black fruits are soft. They fill your palate with gushing fruit. Here you find a massive wall of tannin, but the tannins are so ripe and polished, you almost do not notice them. The finish is long, lingering and expansive. Give this at least a decade or more before popping a cork. 97 Points

2015 Vintage Tasted: Feb 2018

Blackcurrant, blueberry and currant aromas with hints of black licorice and hot stones. Full-bodied with dense and integrated tannins and a long, long finish. It is all there and all about proportional harmony. Excellent focus and beauty. Drink in 2022.

About James Suckling

99 / 100 Wine Enthusiast

2015 Vintage Tasted: Jan 2018

This wine that comes mainly from a magnificent walled vineyard within sight of the Gironde estuary is structured and dense. Its tannins and firm character show its enormous aging potential. Powerful black fruits come from the 85% Cabernet Sauvignon in this rich, juicy wine. Drink from 2027.

Very Good

2015 Vintage Saved: 31-Dec-2021

Honestly, it’s disappointing it is a good wine however nowhere near extraordinary. Wondering even if even with time and can impress. In 2021, it doesn’t cut it ! Need time (maybe)

The 2015 vintage for Saint-Julien was largely very good.
