92+ Points Vinous Media
The most vibrant and penetrating of the 2014s I tasted at Lafarge in December, conveying excellent peppery lift to the aromas of cherry, menthol and minerals. Youthfully tight but quite juicy, showing a distinctly primary character to its red berry and spice flavors. Not especially fleshy or sweet but sappy, savory and tactile, finishing with firm but well-integrated tannins and superb length. From barrel, this wine was overshadowed by the Clos des Chènes but in the bottle it looks to be clearly superior.
92 Points Decanter
Reserved red-fruits nose showing finesse. The fruit is a bit lean but intense on the medium body, with fine-grained tannins and good acidity. Long, fresh finish.
