Vinous
Reviewed August 2016Vivid red. Elegant and precise, displaying fresh raspberry and cherry scents and a suave floral pastille nuance. Vibrant, mineral-tinged red fruit and spicecake flavors show excellent clarity and floral lift. Smooth, sappy and precise on the penetrating and gently tannic finish, which hangs on with outstanding mineral- and spice-driven tenacity. (JR)

Int'l Wine Review
The 2014 Vielles Vignes is sourced from 70 year-old vines. It offers dark and spicy raspberry fruit with hints of earth and black cherry. While it is somewhat less fruit forward than the 2013 vintage, it is soft on the palate with good concentration and mouth feel and round tannins. Nicelhy balanced and soft on the palate with good intensity of flavor. A good sense of place.
Notes
We have sold a lot of this value gem from a very good year. Lots of cherry aromas that follow to the palate. Enjoy now or cellar a year.
