Community Tasting Note

Saturday, October 14, 2017 - During a 2014 walkabout arrivage tasting, no tasting notes given, only selective comments. In general I did not walk away excited after sampling ca. 40 wines (to be fair, all the big weights were missing). In a nutshell, while the vintage is pleasant and fresh, it is often too lean, lacking charm and aromatic depth. Still, Bordeaux being Bordeaux, the wines are not made for immediate drinking so, I don't see the point in buying them now. There will be plenty of them in the market in 2024 when they reached their peak and prices then will probably still be relatively attractive given the release prices. TN: For me the best wine of this event. Very nice and complex nose with truffle, smoke, some barnyard, spice, dark fruit. Elegant palate, tannins well measured. Well done Mr Cruse. 93-94
