Chateau Rieussec 2014 - Case of 6 Bottles (75cl)The Chteau Rieussec 2014 is picked from 15 to 29 October through seven tries, the yield half the normal crop at 13 hectoliters per hectare. Charles Chevalier, how lest we forget started here and not chez Lafite, told me that the beginning of September had overripe grapes with passerillage the second part had very good levels of botrytis. The blend is from these two parts. The bouquet is very well defined with crystal clear honeysuckle and white peach

Like the Pavillon Rouge this year

the 2014 Montrose builds on the promise it showed in barrel with gorgeous blackberry

cherry and violet to be appreciated

Let's see how this ages in bottle

ditto one of the best Left Bank 2014s

yet intense finish

Tasted blind at the annual Southwold tasting

it is a little mute

this improved with aeration

a superb line of acidity and outstanding precision on the finish

the mineralité on the linear finish

but this certainly is more expressive
