Elegant yet structured, the 2014 offers fresh cedar, cassis, and rose petal notes, layered with velvety tannins and bright acidity. It’s approachable but shows real aging potential, with some debate among critics about whether the tannins will ultimately outlast the fruit. Still, the suave texture and saline lift give it both charm and backbone—clearly shaped by the estate’s top-tier direction under Nicolas Glumineau.\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan style=\"text-decoration: underline;\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eJames Suckling | \u003cspan style=\"color: rgb(158, 0, 57); text-decoration: underline;\"\u003eJS 92\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cem\u003ePublished: Feb 13, 2017\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eRose-petal, cassis-bush and berry aromas.

It's suave and concentrated, but also remarkably deep, weighty, robust and structured, with a long finish - this has clear ageing potential.\u003cbr\u003eClosure: Cork\u003cbr\u003eAlcohol: 13.00%\u003cbr\u003eBody: Medium\u003cbr\u003eOak: Oaked\u003cbr\u003eGrapes: 59% Cabernet Sauvignon 41% Merlot\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan style=\"text-decoration: underline;\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eThe Wine Advocate | \u003cspan style=\"color: rgb(158, 0, 57); text-decoration: underline;\"\u003eRP 91\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cem\u003ePublished: Mar 31, 2017\u003cbr\u003eDrink: 2018-2030\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe 2014 Reserve de Comtesse de Lalande has a very fresh and vibrant bouquet with lovely cedar-infused black fruit that sings of Pauillac-ness (apologies for the made-up word!). The palate is medium-bodied with fine tannin, crisp and elegant with a keen line of acidity. This feels quite linear at the moment and perhaps the finish could have dealt more complexity commensurate with the aromatics. Yet there is bundles of freshness infused into this Deuxieme Vin and there is a palpable salinity on the aftertaste. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan style=\"background-color: rgb(255, 255, 255);\"\u003e\u003cspan style=\"background-color: #ffffff;\"\u003e\u003cspan style=\"text-decoration: underline;\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e\u003cspan style=\"background-color: #ffffff;\"\u003eJancis Robinson \u003cspan class=\"selectable-text copyable-text\"\u003e|\u003c\/span\u003e \u003cspan style=\"color: rgb(158, 0, 57);\"\u003eJR 16\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cem\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan style=\"background-color: #ffffff;\"\u003e\u003cem\u003ePublished: Feb 8, 2024\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan style=\"background-color: #ffffff;\"\u003e\u003cem\u003e\u003cbr\u003eDrink: 2028-2034\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eTasted blind. Deep garnet. Black fruit and lots of sweet toasty oak. Tea-leaf scent on the palate, the tannins a little firmer than needed to match the depth of the fruit core but it is just in balance.
