The aromas to this are so complex and spellbinding with rose petals, sandalwood and stones. Hints of almonds. Full body, ultra-fine tannins and an intense finish. Shows fantastic tension and compression. Precise line to the wine. Drink in 2022.

(WA94-96 points) The 2014 Clos St Denis Grand Cru, from 55-year-old vines (more or less), has a very pure, delineated, sophisticated bouquet with captivating purity. It is actually more Clos de la Roche in style! The palate is very sensual on the entry with dark plum, sea salt and a hint of juniper berry. The tannins are fine but form a framework around the long finish, completing an impressive and delicious Clos Saint Denis from Jadot. - Neal Martin

(BH91-94 points) A pungent if relatively elegant nose combines a diverse range of aromas that include wood, menthol, spice, plum, violet, sandalwood and smoky nuances. There is excellent volume to the caressing and mouth coating medium-bodied flavors that possess a velvety mid-palate that contrasts with the firm and moderately austere finale that delivers very fine if not truly spectacular persistence. Still this is quite promising as it's entirely possible both the depth and length will improve with age.
