| TASTING NOTE: The 2015 Busquet has plenty of pure red currant and cranberry fruit on the nose, with nicely integrated oak and fine mineralité. The palate is medium-bodied with fine tannin. It has more body and density than the 2014 Busquet and a slightly pinched finish that will mellow during bottle aging. Drink over the next decade. Drink Date: 2019-2029. Score - 90 (Neal Martin, robertparker.com, June 30, 2017) |
