Wine Spectator's JM also gave this wine a strong score of 92, noting its "lush" profile with "lots of warm fig and boysenberry confiture flavors." The review highlighted the wine's "ample muscle" and "brambly grip," along with "mouthfilling licorice root and fruitcake notes" on the finish. JM pointed out that while the wine is "a bit of a hefty style," it is "well done" and will be at its best between 2020 and 2030.

Jeff Leve from The Wine Cellar Insider also rated the wine 94 points, mentioning its "flowers, espresso, plum, truffle, chocolate notes," and describing it as "supple, round, ripe, sensuous, pure, clean, and fresh."

Scoring it 94 points, the review noted the wine's "powerful gourmet edge" and "flexible tannins," adding that it is a "wine that is getting into its stride" with a "slightly raspy slate edge to the finish."

Jane Anson, who awarded the wine 92 points, described it as a "more subdued vintage in St Emilion" but still a "confident and highly enjoyable wine." She noted that although it is "still tightly wound even at nine years old," it can be enjoyed now with a few hours of decanting to open up its "smoky, cocoa bean, brioche, and espresso-edged cassis fruits."

Overall, the 2014 Fleur Cardinale Bordeaux Blend is highly regarded for its balance, complexity, and rich flavors. It has received consistently excellent reviews from multiple respected critics, making it a noteworthy choice for wine enthusiasts.
