| Vintage: | 2014 |
|---|---|
| Description: | Winemaker NotesTo the eye, Au Paradis presents a deep red ruby color. The nose offers elegant notes of cassis, black cherry, chocolate, licorice, cloves, cinnamon and an exotic touch of orange. In the mouth, the texture is velvety and loaded with black currant, liqueur of cassis, game, black berry liqueur, black olives, coconut, plum eau-de-vie, and an iron-like minerality.The mouth feel is round, refined, complex and meaty with an incredible length of finish.The 2014 Au Paradis will continue to age gracefully for three decades or more.Blend: 76% Cabernet Sauvignon, 24% Cabernet FrancCritical AcclaimJames Suckling - 99ptsExtremely perfumed with iron, clay and currant character. Copper pennies and hints of steak. Then this turns to flowers, iodine and oyster shells. Full body that's juicy and defined by hefty blackcurrant flavors and real meatiness. Dark-chocolate and orange-peel undertones. Extremely long and flavorful. About three-fourths Cabernet Sauvignon with the rest being Cabernet Franc. Excellent follow-up to the 2013.Wine Spectator - 93ptsThough intense and assertive, there's a charming suppleness to the texture, letting the flavors of dark berry, anise, baking spices and mocha glide along. Most impressive for the intensity and persistence on the finish. Best from 2020 through 2038 |
