(BH91-94 points) Reduction and wood make for a tough to read nose today. There is however the classic refinement of a fine Combettes to the surprisingly racy medium weight flavors that possess a taut if stylish muscularity on the mouth coating and gorgeously long finish. This is terrific and should age extremely well.

(WA92-94 points) The 2014 Puligny Montrachet 1Er Cru les Combettes offers convincing mineral tension on the nose that is very well focused. The palate is crisp and taut, well defined with a palpable sense of energy -- the Puligny leaping about like a toddler. There is plenty of character about this Puligny Combettes with a seam of freshly shaved ginger furnishing the finish. This is excellent. - Neal Martin
