Dark ruby in color with a reddish rim.
Earthy nose of black currants, plums, earth, wet leaves, oak, forest floor, graphite, dark chocolates, leather, peppercorn, bell pepper, vegetables, herbs and tobacco leaf.
Medium plus in body with medium plus acidity and nice legs.
Dry on the palate with plums, black currants, coffee, oak, cloves, earth, vegetables, graphite, spices, bitter herbs, tobacco leaf, wet leaves, vinaigrette and black pepper.
Short finish with fine tannins and sour cherries.
This is a young Cabernet based, red Bordeaux. Not fully balanced, and very earthy.
Still young and needs 5 to 10 years of bottle age to become what it is supposed to be. Needs 3 hours to open up properly.
Showing great potential, but I wouldn't touch it for at least 5 years.
I paired it with cheeses, meats and light appetizers.
13% alcohol by volume.
88 points.
$80.

Lean creamy bright mid & slightly dark light fruits. Wow. Nice milk chocolate, caramel, vanilla, liquid violets, acidity and finish delightful. 14's so much softer young than last years 15's at the En Primeur.

Jan 28th, 201716.5/20 (90/100) Травянистый аромат с нотами чёрных ягод, ментола, кедра, ванили и шоколада. Тельное с высокой кислотностью и интенсивные, но не вяжущие танины, приятной текстуры. Хорошая концентрация во вкусе. «Зелень» очевидна и во вкусе и в аромате, несмотря на то, что её мастерски интегрировали. Вряд ли у 2014 есть большой потенциал к выдержке, вино можно пить уже сейчас, особого смысла выдерживать нет.
