The 2014 'Cuvée Prestige' is a fantastic showing in this vintage. As this slowly unwinds in the glass it releases gorgeous aromas of ripe blackberries and plums woven together with exotic spices, pepper, violets, licorice and minerals. This is beautifully textured, with polished tannins and wonderful overall balance and concentration. This continues to impress as everything comes together and expands beautifully onto the lingering finish. While this is accessible now, I expect this to continue to evolve gracefully over the course of the next decade. (Best 2018-2028) - January, 2017 (JD)
