Wine Spectator, June 2014

Licorice, smoke and mineral notes frame black cherry and toasty flavors in this sleek red. Firm tannins support the polished texture, then give way to coffee and tar accents on the finish. Drink now through 2020. – TM

Jancis Robinson's Purple Pages, August 2014

Leather, fennel, liquorice and cassis - very lovely. Loads more complexity and interest than the 2011. Clearly a more amenable vintage. Really lovely. 17.5/20 (RH)
