Wine Spectator

Enticing warm plum, fig and blackberry compote notes roll through, inlaid with singed alder and tobacco accents. Theres a light tug of warm cast iron and another wave of fruit after that, all supported by well-buried chalky minerality. This is a very strong showing and has put on some weight since the barrel tasting. Best from 2020 through 2040. -James Molesworth, Wine Spectator

Vinous

The 2015 La Gaffeliere is a wine of total finesse. Much less obvious and overt than most Saint-milions in this vintage, La Gaffeliere makes its case on harmony and grace above all else. Bright, lifted Cabernet Franc infused aromatics give the 2015 striking freshness and aromatic presence. The flavors are bright and nuanced to the core, with plenty of red cherry, espresso and floral notes. But back to the basics. In 2015 La Gaffeliere is a wine that stands out because of its impeccable balance and sense of proportion. I loved it. Tasted two times. -Antonio Galloni, Vinous
