  Delicate , soft tanins, fruits amoramas coming softly on palate. The wine silky, soft and pure.

  Replacement for the flawed bottle, so served rather too cool. Still, with gentle coaxing this wine showed its quality. Good deep colour, classic Pauillac on the nose, and beautifully balanced on the palate. It is drinking really well now - it's perhaps reached its plateau of maturity (though no hurry).
  
  I actually preferred this to the more flamboyant, sweeter 2009 tasted a few days earlier, as the 2014 is (today at least) more classically structured claret. Excellent QPR.

  The first bottle of a case bought on release, but alas undrinkable - musty on the nose and an unpleasant metallic sweetness on the palate. I fetched another from the cellar...

  Fully opened after a 5 month coravin. Dark blue fruit, earth, oak, and chalky tannin. Medium bodies with a medium to long finish. Nice mouthfeel. Rounded

  Cassis, blackberry, some underripe strawberry. Some tertiary earthiness and touch of graphite.
  
  Very enjoyable, but less complexity and elegance versus the 2014 which was drank alongside.
