Tasted at the Cru Bourgeois annual tasting, the 2015 Noaillac has a clean and ripe bouquet with ample blackberry and boysenberry fruit, a slight marine influence surfacing with time. The palate is medium-bodied with soft and supple tannin. This is very velvety in texture, almost to the point where I would have liked more reserve and a tad more dryness on the finish. This is one case where the 2014 might turn out better than its successor. Tasted September 2017.
