| Tasting Note | eRobert Parker (Neal Martin) : 89/100 Vintage 2014 The 2014 D'Armailhac has a clean and fresh bouquet with plenty of fruit: blackberry and raspberry coulis, a touch of cedar coming through with aeration. The palate is medium-bodied with supple tannin, a fine line of acidity and a tangible level of mineralité on the tensile finish. This is a sophisticated d'Armailhac, probably one that will be approachable after 4-5 years. Recommended, even if I do not regard it as the greatest d'Armailhac in recent years. Wine Spectator 91/100 - Vintage 2014 - Tasted: 31-Mar-2017 Fresh and pure, but not shy on depth, offering an ample core of cassis and blackberry purée flavors. There's a fine chalky minerality throughout, but overall the structure is polished. Anise and spice notes add range. Best from 2018 through 2028. Jancis Robinson 17/20 - Vintage 2014 - When to drink: 2020 to 2030 Deep crimson. Warm, almost roasted nose. Sweet start that covers well the essential high acidity of the vintage. Tea leaves and charm. Not particularly concentrated but well-balanced early drinker. Jancis Robinson Tasted: 15-Jul-2015 Jeannie Cho Lee 90/100 - Vintage 2014 A round, supple red with velvety tannins with plum and dark cherry. The wine is balanced, fresh and lively and will be approachable even in its youth, but the dense tannins mean it will benefit from at least 5 to 6 years of bottle age. 50% Cabernet Sauvignon with 36% Merlot and 12% Cabernet Franc.Tasted: 01-Mar-2015 Other Critic Rating: Jeff Leve, The Wine Cellar Insider 90/100 - Vintage 2014 - Tasted: 01-Feb-2017 La Revue du Vin de France 16.5/20 - Vintage 2017 - Tasted: 01-Jun-2016 Gault & Millau 16.5/20 - Vintage 2014 - Tasted: 01-Jun-2015 Vinous Antonio Galloni 90-93/100 - Vintage 2014 - Tasted: 01-Apr-2015 Wine Enthusiast 92/100 - Vintage 2014 Vinum Wine Magazine 17/20 - Vintage 2014 - When to drink: 2020 to 2028 Bettane et Desseauve 16.5/20 - Vintage 2014 |
