Château La Gaffelière 2015, Premier Grand Cru Classé de Saint-Émilion (750 ml)

97 poena - Wine Enthusiast

Château La Gaffelière 2015 je bogato slojevito i graciozno vino iz Saint-Émiliona, sastavljeno od 70% Merlota i 30% Cabernet Franca. U čaši pokazuje duboku granat boju. Buket je izražajan i profinjen, sa zavodljivim notama vrlo zrelog šumskog voća – kupine, crne ribizle – isprepletenim nijansama tostiranog drveta, delikatnog sladića, sečuanskog bibera i cvjetne elegancije. Na nepcu se otvara baršunastim bogatstvom i izuzetnom finoćom, pružajući koncentrisane ukuse kreme od kupine, maline i kakaa, sve podržano profinjenim taninima, živom svježinom i besprijekornom strukturom. Završetak je dug, uglađen i energičan, savršeno spajajući intenzitet i čistoću. Château La Gaffelière 2015 odiše harmonijom i sofisticiranošću – impresivno već sada, ali i stvoreno za graciozan razvoj tokom godina.

Château La Gaffelière 2015 is a richly layered and graceful Saint-Émilion, composed of 70% Merlot and 30% Cabernet Franc. In the glass, it shows a deep garnet hue. The bouquet is expressive and refined, with heady notes of very ripe dark forest fruit—blackberries, blackcurrants—interlaced with nuances of toasted wood, delicate licorice, Sichuan pepper, and floral elegance. On the palate, it unfolds with velvety richness and brilliant finesse, delivering concentrated flavors of blackberry cream, raspberry, and cocoa, all powered by refined tannins, vibrant freshness, and seamless structure. The wine finishes long, sleek, and energetic, beautifully balancing intensity with purity. Château La Gaffelière 2015 exudes harmony and sophistication—impressive now and destined for graceful evolution over the years.
