Tasting Notes | ||||
---|---|---|---|---|
The 2014 Kirwan has a brisk raspberry and wild strawberry nose, a touch confit with rose petal scents emerging with time, the vanilla aspect observed in barrel now completely assimilated. The palate is medium-bodied with fine tannin and well-judged acidity. Harmonious in the mouth with good body, it builds nicely with cedar and white pepper-infused black fruit, though it just cuts away swiftly on the finish that maybe knocked off a point on the bottle tasting in October 2016, though six months later, a second bottle showed more persistence. This is a commendable Kirwan that should give 15-20 years of pleasure. Score: 91 Neal Martin, Wine Advocate, RobertParker.com Maturity: 2019-2038 31 March 2017 |

Fresh herb and berry character with hints of lavender. Full to medium body, firm tannins and a long finish. This is on it for the vintage. Drink in 2020. Score: 93 James Suckling, JamesSuckling.com 13 February 2017 |

Blueish crimson. A dark glow. A tentative but true aroma. Smells like sweet ink. Round and polished with some savoury sandpaper notes on the finish. Quite appetising. (16.5+ Points) Score: 16 - 17 Jancis Robinson MW, JancisRobinson.com Maturity: 2022-2035 15 April 2015 |

Features a saturated core of blackberry and cherry preserve flavors, wrapped with black licorice notes and backed by a solid, polished finish. Score: 89 - 92 James Molesworth, Wine Spectator 01 April 2015 |
