92 Points, Stephen Tanzer (Vinous)

Bright, dark red with ruby highlights. Aromas of cassis and licorice hint at a dried-berry character. Impressively concentrated for such a large blend, offering a fine-grained texture and noteworthy inner-mouth floral lift. Boasts plush, sweet dark fruit and spice flavors, with a repeating element of very ripe berries. Suggests a wider range of fruit ripeness than most of the other DeLille reds but very successful for such a disparate blend. The long finish features substantial ripe, broad tannins.

91 Points, Jeb Dunnuck

Named after the famed highway leading up to the Médoc from the city of Bordeaux. The 2015 D2 is 58% Merlot, 36% Cabernet Sauvignon, and the rest Cabernet Franc and Petit Verdot. It offers a Pomerol-like bouquet of black cherries, leafy herbs, graphite, and lead pencil, and is medium to full-bodied, seamless and elegant. Readers wanting a taste of the style – and quality – from Delille should absolutely check this wine out. Drink bottles over the coming 7-8 years.

92 Points, Vinous – 91 Points, Jeb Dunnuck

I had to work hard to secure a few bottles of some of their older stuff and managed to secure 5 cases of this beauty. Their D2 Blend offers a whiff of what Jeb Dunnuck calls, “a Pomerol-like bouquet”. It’s a seamless blend of Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot, Cabernet Franc and Petit Verdot with bold flavors and a thick core of ripe, juicy fruit. With some age to it already, this one is really drinking beautifully right now. Grab a few bottles before it’s gone forever!
