Other Reviews...
After a so-so 2014, the excellent 2015 Château Desmirail makes amends. It comes with a very comely, feminine and perfumed nose brandishing a whole bunch of rose petals in the glass. The palate is very well balanced, fleshy but still structured with fine grain tannin. It feels a little oaky towards the finish, but that should be subsumed with 4-5 years in bottle. One to check out after 3-4 years when it has found its groove.

A lovely beam of crushed plum and blackberry fruit is carried by velvety tannins, ending with a warm ganache note on the finish.

Lovely expression of cassis Cabernet fruit with Margaux charm and lift. This third growth is really coming into its classification.

While spicy wood dominates the aroma of this wine, on the palate there is a fresh suggestion of black fruits. It is dry, although the fruit will certainly continue to develop.

The 2015 Desmirail is plump and juicy. Black cherry, plum, mocha, spice, new leather and mint flesh out in a decidedly forward, succulent Margaux built for near term drinking. This is a solid effort from proprietor Denis Lurton.
