90 pts Vinous
The 2015 Faithful Hound was matured 30% in new French oak barriques, the remainder in second- and third-fill French oak barriques. It has a ripe, earthy, blackberry and briar bouquet with hints of powdery dark chocolate and damp clay. The palate is medium-bodied with grainy tannin, that dark chocolate on the nose infusing the black dusky fruit. Missing just a little detail toward the finish but impressive in terms of length. Give this a couple of years in bottle.
