Wow. Lots of lilac and honeysuckle with sliced apples and lemon character. Some minerals. Full body, tightly knit, long and intense. Excited to see how this develops.
The 2014 De Fieuzal was following the Domaine de Chevalier Rouge and frankly that's a difficult act to follow. It certainly does not possess the same precision of fruit concentration, perhaps enduring a reticent, broody stage of its evolution. The palate is medium-bodied with supple tannin and well-judged acidity. Here perhaps more representative of the wine, building in the mouth towards a lovely cedar-tinged finish, leaving you on a high note. Hopefully the aromatics will develop with bottle age and then it will merit a higher score. Mar 2017, www.robertparker.com
