I appreciate the delineation and focus here. The palate is medium-bodied with a touch of dark chocolate on the entry. It has grainy tannin, moderate depth, just a little abruptness towards the finish, although the acidity is nicely tuned. It just feels a little linear and constrained at the moment, but it should spread its wings after bottling.90-92 points\u003cem\u003e\u003cem\u003eNeal Martin – eRobertParker.com #224 (Apr 2016)\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eShows gusto, wrestling a thick structure into a very ripe, concentrated core of dark fig and boysenberry confiture notes. Offers ample but well-integrated toast. A decidedly not-shy style, with enough cut for balance.90-93 points\u003cem\u003e\u003cem\u003eJ.M. – Wine Spectator\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eRipe and creamy with dark fruit and spice notes. The palate is rich and layered with a solid tannic frame but the tannins are finely honed.91 points\u003cem\u003e\u003cem\u003eDecanter\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis is very powerful and bright with lots of mineral, salt and white pepper character. Full body, velvety tannins. Velvety texture. 70% of this is made in barrel. A small percentage of co-fermentation of merlot and cabernet franc. 80% merlot. Racy winemaking. Showing more finesse in tannins compared to the past. Wow.95-96 points\u003cem\u003e\u003cem\u003eJames Suckling\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe 2015 Le Bon Pasteur is a dark, radiant wine laced with the essence of dark cherry jam, spice, menthol, licorice and plum. Beams of underlying tannin give the wine its power, structural intensity as the finish extends beautifully. The ripe, later-harvested style works well. I expect the tannins will need at least a few years to calm down, but there is plenty of potential.90-92 points\u003cem\u003e\u003cem\u003eAntonio Galloni\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003csection data-liuqs-content=\"verified-context\"\u003e\u003cp class=\"site-brand-context\"\u003eListed by \u003cstrong\u003eFlowers by Richard NYC | Same Day Flower Delivery NYC\u003c\/strong\u003e.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"site-context-note\"\u003eFree Shipping on All Orders · New Store Launch Deals End in 30 Days!\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul class=\"verified-product-facts\"\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eVendor:\u003c\/strong\u003e My Store\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eTags:\u003c\/strong\u003e Skincare\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003c\/section\u003e","brand":"My Store","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":42985053913173,"sku":"cs_85403","price":10.62,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0660\/9630\/0117\/files\/4e2mghrbt3ll_f063e870-22f5-413a-9b78-f28008d8c433.jpg?v=1789246368","url":"https:\/\/willowcreekspirits.com\/products\/2015chateaulebonpasteur-egrlyg","provider":"Willow Creekspirits","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
