Tasting notes
Developed colour with bricky rim. Sweet, ripe and dried cherries, evolved but not raisined. Heady, opulent flavours with a firm streak of acidity to keep the freshness. Tannins still present but now smooth like old leather. Still a little chewy on the finish. Lots of sweet pleasure and just a touch meaty (but not bretty). (JH)

Tasted blind. A bit simple, sweet and oaky on the nose – a hint of cappuccino. Juicy and easy but not the most noble or complex. (JR)
Autumnal maturation explains the character of this fruit – cold nights, cooler days, gives the wine tenderness and a gourmand character, suggests Mitjavile. Deep crimson. Lots of dark fruit and very expressive. Already showing some savoury character and still quite a bit of oak sweetness. Chocolate! (JH)
The 2014 Roc de Cambes has a lovely bouquet—very pure and intense—with black cherries, blueberry fruit and crushed rose petal that develops with time. The palate is medium-bodied, with fleshy ripe red and black fruit, supple tannin, hints of orange zest and pomegranate and quite a structured finish that just cuts away a little swiftly on the aftertaste.
