Note di degustazione
The 2014 Haut-Condissas has a tightly wound, dense and rather sultry, marine-tinged bouquet at the moment, earthier in style than previous vintages. The palate is medium-bodied with firm tannin, crisp black fruit, quite minerally-driven in style with admirable tension and sense of energy towards the detailed finish. This is very promising and shows better than just after bottling: a nimble and vivacious wine that will benefit from three to five years in bottle. Tasted at the Haut-Condissas vertical at the property.

The 2014 Haut-Condissas has an appealing bouquet of blackberry, cedar and light cigar box aromas, though I would like to see it develop more vigor as it ages in bottle. The palate is medium-bodied with quite succulent tannins for a 2014. It is a wine of depth and girth rather than finesse, and I was hoping for more finesse and tension, more terroir expression to come through on the finish; instead, it conveys more winemaking, at least at the moment. To be honest, I was expecting a little more given the showing in barrel.
The 2014 Haut-Condissas is one of the clear sleepers of the vintage. Dark cherry, tobacco, licorice and sweet herbs add aromatic nuance to a core of red-toned fruit in this super-expressive Medoc. The 2014 has come together beautifully since I last tasted it from barrel. Don't miss it.
