The 2014 'La Cigalette' is another excellent showing from the domaine in this vintage. It instantly opens with alluring aromas of blackberries and ripe black plum woven together with violets, spices, cracked pepper and an underlying mesquite-smokey character, which adds lovely complexity. On the palate, this is full-bodied with notable concentration and balance from start to finish. This is showing well now, but will be at its best after some short term cellaring.
