Chateau d´Aiguilhe 2014

WEINWISSER: "Dunkles Granat, recht satt in der Mitte, rubiner Rand. Sehr würziges Bouquet, blaue Beeren, Tabakblatt, Szechuanpfeffer und Lakritze. Im zweiten Ansatz Rosmarinnadeln und schwarze Pflaumen, wirkt dabei dezent trocken. Fleischiger, körniger Gaumen, wirkt so noch etwas extrahiert, respektive fordernd. Ein Charakter-Castillon. 200'000 Flaschen Produktion – auf diesem Qualitätsniveau. Bravo!"

WINE ENTHUSIAST: "Stephan von Neipperg of Château Canon la Gaffelière was an early proponent of Castillon vineyard potential and chose this property which is on the same ridge as Saint-Emilion. Fruity and ripe, this is a generous wine. Finely structured tannins back up the black-currant fruits and give the wine a texture that bodes well for the future. Drink from 2019."

WINE SPECTATOR: "This has an ample core of lively plum, blackberry and anise notes that is silky in feel, but has heft and persistence. The finish pulls in a singed apple wood note, but the purity of fruit wins out easily overall. Drink now through 2024. 19,200 cases made."
