Tasting notes
Dark red with ruby tones. Deeply pitched aromas of currant, dark cherry, licorice and leather. Dense, sweet, slightly leathery wine with noteworthy depth of texture. Not showing the light mineral touch it displayed from barrel a year ago but this is quite ripe and broad--even a bit chocolatey--for the vintage. Finishes with slightly tough tannins.

(60% vendange entier ; 50% new oak; from 70-year-old vines planted in lighter, limestone-rich soil): Deep, bright ruby-red. Dark, reticent aromas of black raspberry, licorice and stone. Dense and sappy on the palate, communicating enticing sweetness to the mineral-tinged dark fruit flavors. Excellent inner-mouth tension here gives the wine a juicy character and carries the firmly tannic finish. At 13. 5% alcohol following chaptalization, this is among the highest-octane 2014s at this address.
