"The 2015 Fleurie Clos de la Grand'Cour is a beauty, wafting from the glass with a complex bouquet of sweet raspberries, rose petals, cigar tobacco and incipient hints of espresso roast. On the palate, the wine is full-bodied, supple and concentrated, with fine-grained structuring tannins, a deep core of sapid fruit and a long, saline finish. As Dutraive comments, 2015 is such an unprecedented vintage that it's hard to prognosticate how well the wines will age—but if they continue to gain in complexity and elegance, they may end up ranking as among his greatest hits."
