(93-94 points) The 2014 Lavaux was a touch cranky after having just been filtered, but its overall quality was still very much in evidence. The bouquet is a superb, black fruity mélange of cassis, black cherries, espresso, grilled meats, dark soil tones, cigar smoke and cedary wood. On the palate the wine is deep, full-bodied, complex and ripely tannic, with a lovely core, fine balance and grip and a long, nicely transparent finish. This was not as impeccably balanced as the rest of the range, but it had just been filtered, and I am sure that the focus will return promptly once it recovers. Fine juice.

The fresh and restrained aromas of dark berries, warm earth, humus and game scents display excellent complexity. There is once again fine punch to the tautly muscular and mineral-driven medium weight flavors that exhibit fine depth and length on the youthfully austere finale. This built-to-age effort will definitely require at least some patience. Well worth considering.
