Spices and berries with cedar and sandalwood. Medium-bodied, focused and very fine. Shows tension and focus. Drink now.
92 points James Suckling
The 2015 Mauvesin Barton is a blend of 42% Merlot, 38% Cabernet Sauvignon, 16% Cabernet Franc and 4% Petit Verdot, the first vintage that Mélanie Barton-Sartorius was ‘on her own’ to make the wine.
It has a straightforward raspberry and wild strawberry-scented bouquet, a little more tertiary in style than its peers, but with good definition.
The palate is medium-bodied with light tannin, perhaps somewhat rustic in style compared to its peers, with a savoury finish that needs to develop more persistence on the finish.
This is a fine Moulis, although I think there is better to come. Tasted April 2016. Drink 2019-2032.
Neal Martin, The Wine Advocate
The 2015 Mauvesin Barton is beginning to fulfill the promise it showed from barrel. Black cherries and strawberry define that somewhat plush but focused nose. The palate is medium-bodied, supple and balanced with a smooth sheen on the long finish. This is well worth seeking out. Tasted blind at the Southwold 2015 Bordeaux tasting.
90/100 Neal Martin, Jul 2019.
