97 pointsJeb Dunnuck

First made in 2001, the 2015 Rothwell Hyde is a complex blend from all four of the estate vineyards. It’s unquestionably more forward and approachable than the single vineyards yet plays in the powerful, serious, incredibly impressive style of this estate. Blockbuster notes of blue fruits, barbecue smoke, camphor, and violets all flow to a full-bodied, thrillingly pure, flamboyant 2015 that has sweet tannins, no hard edges, and remarkable purity of fruit.(1/2019)

94 pointsJames Suckling

A full-bodied and juicy wine with lots of richness and power. Layered and ripe tannins. Flavorful finish. An opulent wine with firmness and length.(2/2019)

The 2015 Rothwell Hyde is a gorgeous, supple wine that is ready to deliver tons of immediate pleasure. In some recent vintages, 2013 and 2014 come to mind, Rothwell Hyde has been hard to enjoy young, but that is not at all the case with the 2015. Plush and inviting, with plenty of generous dark blue/purplish fruit, the 2015 has so much to offer. I absolutely loved the 2015 for its sensual, inviting personality. (AG)(12/2018)
