Grand Cru Classé

The 2015 L'If has a very gorgeous and opulent bouquet with macerated small red cherries, blueberries and a hint of cocoa powder, probably from the new oak, and this seems to dissipate quickly. On the palate it is medium-bodied with crisp freshness, a dash of white pepper, nicely structured and shows a lot of style on the finish. In fact, this Saint-Émilion gained in precision and harmony over five to ten minutes. This is a strong successor to the 2014.
