Ten Years Later: A 2015 Bordeaux Retrospective Tasting
Ten years after the en primeur "circus," where legions of critics descended on Bordeaux to shower scores and provide free press for the upcoming campaign, we invite you to revisit the 2015 vintage with fresh eyes and sharpened palates.
"Ten Years Later: A 2015 Bordeaux Retrospective Tasting" is not just a tasting—it's a reckoning. Elite collectors know that many of Bordeaux's greatest wines can be produced in modest vintages. The 2015 vintage in Bordeaux was hailed early for its charm, balance, and accessibility—especially on the Right Bank, where Merlot thrived in ideal conditions. But ten years on, it’s time to look past the early praise and evaluate the wines with the clarity only time can provide.
This tasting is more than just a nostalgic look back. It is a rigorous examination of a vintage once praised for its purity of fruit and supple structure, now entering its second phase of life. Seventeen wines will be presented in five thoughtfully curated flights, including a blind flight to kick off our evaluation.
A must for collectors, sommeliers, and students of Bordeaux alike—this is your chance to reassess 2015 with fresh perspective and aged insight.
