(BH91-94 points) Here the timid nose is both cooler and more restrained with its elegant combination of red and dark currant, earth, rose petal and wet stone scents. There is an equally elegant mouth feel to the stony, precise and energetic medium weight flavors that display first-rate persistence on the impeccably well-balanced finale. A textbook Latricières of grace and class.

Like its 2013 counterpart, the 2014 Latricières-Chambertin Grand Cru displays lovely purity of fruit, offering up notes of sweet berries, baking spices, loamy soil and smoke. Medium to full-bodied, deep and layered, it's generous and enveloping, with powdery, somewhat more assertive tannins than the 2013. Though the wines are on a very similar qualitative level, one senses the impact of the comparatively compressed 2014 growing season on the wine's phenolics when it's contrasted with the 2013, a vintage defined by very long hang-time. - William Kelley
