Chateau Petit-Village Pomerol 2014 [VM 92]

“The 2014 Petit-Village is bold, racy and voluptuous, all of which add to its considerable near- and medium-term appeal. Lavender, herbs, menthol and leather run through a core of sumptuous dark fruit. Broad, ample and inviting, the 2014 has so much to recommend it. This is a very pretty wine by any measure. The blend is 72 % Merlot, 16 % Cabernet Franc and 12 % Cabernet Sauvignon.” Vinous 92+ Points

“The Cabernet Franc in the blend makes this wine a success, offering an intense character that brings out blackberry fruit notes and delicate acidity. This wine is solid without being too firm.” Wine Enthusiast 90-92 Points

“Solidly built, with a warm ganache frame around a core of steeped plum and blackberry fruit. The toasty edge wins out on the finish for now, but the fruit is there. This should meld a bit more in the cellar.” Wine Spectator 91 Points
