The 2014 Maucaillou put in a good performance when I tasted it from barrel. Now in bottle, it builds on that promise with a fresh and vital bouquet: blackberry, tobacco and graphite to the fore, vibrant and engaging. The palate is medium-bodied with a crisp and lively entry, well-judged acidity and fine tannin. It is not a dense wine, not a Moulis of immense body, but it has great length and real finesse. This comes recommended.
The 2014 Maucaillou has turned out nicely. There is good purity and freshness to the fruit. Sadly, the new oak has not integrated, so readers will have to accept that small flaw. Regardless, this is a very pretty wine with plenty of bright red stone fruit, floral overtones and silky tannins.
Baked fruit-cake aroma, but after the bold primary fruit there is quite a light finish. Spicy oak, dry palate, simple length. (RH)
Informazioni sul produttore
Owned by the négociant Dourthe, this Moulis property has 87 hectares of vines today (with 67 added by Philippe Dourthe since 1967). Managed and made by an expert team, the quality here is hardly surprising.
