Note di degustazione
80% Merlot, 20% Cabernet Franc. Aged in oak barrels (30% new) for 14 months. Dark core with a touch of brick at the rim. Still fairly youthful with leafy, berry notes but clearly in its drinking window now. Smooth and juicy on the palate if a little lean, but provides pleasure. (JL)

The 2014 Aiguilhe has a dark core. The nose is tightly wound with blackberry cedar and graphite notes, nicely defined and focused. The palate is medium-bodied with light tannin, easygoing blackberry and bilberry fruit. There is a little sappiness towards the finish that just tapers in slightly, but otherwise, a delightful Côtes de Castillon. Tasted blind at the annual Southwold tasting.
Tasted blind. Dark crimson. Sweet, rich, ripe nose. Savoury, leathery palate with quite a bit of acid. (JR)
The 2014 d'Aiguilhe has a wonderful, quite detailed bouquet with black cherries, melted tar, minerals and a touch of sea spray. The palate is well balanced with supple red and black fruit, well-judged acidity, very feminine and lithe in the mouth with a caressing and very pure finish. This is just a sublime d'Aiguilhe that will give several years of drinking pleasure.
