Tasting notes
As this is always the first Bordeaux from a new vintage I see delivered in the states, I\'ve already popped a few corks from my case. Give it 1-2 hours of air, as this wine gets better, softer and more interesting than you might initially suspect. Full bodied, round and mineralistic, the licorice, ripe, juicy black cherries and plums are there from start to finish.

A soft and velvety red with currant and sweet berry character. Some floral and light vanilla undertones. Full body, round textured tannins and a long, flavorful finish. Need two or three years to come together. Begin drinking in 2021.
Named after the daughter of proprietor Jean-François Julien and from 50-year-old Merlot vines planted in sandy, gravelly soils (very little limestone), the 2015 Château La Fleur Morange Mathilde boasts a deep, inky purple color as well as a floral, blueberry, cherry, and vanilla-laced bouquet. Ripe, sexy and upfront and ready to go, drink it over the coming decade.
Very dark. Intensely rich on the nose and then quite calm and savoury on the palate. Quite racy really. This has moved with the times! Rewarding. (JR)
