It's only wine but I like it

Not nearly up to the quality of the '14, the 2015 seems dry and austere. Quite pale, as to be expected, with red fruits, a bit like Grenache as David suggests but with some smoke and spice. However, in the end, just too austere to provide much enjoyment, at least for me. Given how good the '14 was and the reputation of the producer, I wonder if this simply needs 2-3 more years in bottle (or perhaps this was an off bottle?). Tasted April 2019.
