Le Dôme St Emilion Grand Cru 2015
A powerful and impressive vintage in St Emilion, and Le Dôme is on brand – luscious, intense, high spice, charcoal, fennel, liquorice, a slab of bitter black chocolate alongside cassis and damson fruit. Perhaps less evident floral character from the Cabernet Franc than some vintages, but with plenty of juice running through the mid palate, tempering the high impact of the grilled oak, and there is a joyfulness to this that is impossible to ignore. Neil Whyte winemaker, Jonathan Maltus owner. 80% new oak for ageing, malolactic in new oak.
