If the 1984 was a pre-Parker wine, this is its 'post-Parker' incarnation. Winemaker Francisco Baettig has fashioned a really super-fresh, drinkable and elegant 2015 Don Max from what was a cooler vintage. It has beautifully delineated cassis and blackberry coulis fruit with a touch of cream on the mid-palate, but this is all about the gorgeously focussed fruit in combination with fine-grained tannins and lively, balanced acidity. There's lots of lift, sophistication and pleasure on offer here now, and for many years to come.
