Tasting Notes

Deep, bright colour. Touch of oak on the nose. Less blockbuster than some years but structured. Touch of alcohol on the finish.

Score: 88 Decanter, Decanter.com Maturity: 2018-2025 Date: 01 April 2014

The aromatics on the Le Plus de Bouard has a little more heft than the regular bottling and given time it coalesces nicely and offer quite an opulent glossy bouquet of black cherries and cassis. The palate is medium-bodied with crisp definition, a fine line of acidity and a slightly abrupt, punchy boysenberry finish. Fine. Tasted April 2014.

Score: 89 - 91 Neal Martin, Wine Advocate, RobertParker.com Date: 01 April 2014

A wine with a tight core of ripe fruit and mineral character. Full body layered and firm. Big structure but not too much. Balanced.

Score: 91 - 92 James Suckling, JamesSuckling.com Date: 01 April 2014

Notes of cassis and cherry preserves are silky and refined, with nice minerality lining the finish. This has a perfumy edge throughout, with a flicker of savory at the very end.
