Finely cut and crystalline to the core, the 2014 is laced with striking vibrancy. Chalk, mint, white flowers, cranberry and blood orange all race across the palate. Deceptively understated and nuanced, the 2014 possesses tons of energy and captivating inner perfume. The 2014 is at the beginning of what is sure to be a very long life. I would not plan on opening a bottle for at least a few years. The style of the vintage is one built on linear intensity more than opulence, like say 2004, with captivating aromatics and a sort of inner tension that needs to resolve. As always, the Rose is done in the classic Roederer infusion style in which Pinot Noir is vinified on the skins and then blended with the Chardonnay to complete the fermentation. Dosage is 7 grams per liter. Disgorged: June 2022. Cristal Rose is a much smaller production made from just three parcels. Here, the preference is for riper Pinot from the Bonnotte-Pierre-Robert lieu-dit in Ay, marcerated for about a week and then infused into Chardonnays from Montmartin in Mesnil-sur-Oger and Pierre Vaudon in Avize. Naturally, this approach requires parcels that ripen in a specific sequence. Here, too, there is no malolactic fermentation. Oak is about 15% for the Rose, lower than the Blanc.

This results in exceptional fullness and plushness in terms of texture that transcends the mouthfeel. The wine's expressive bouquet shows open and frank aromas of dark fruit, tar, road paving, crushed stone and black truffle. This vintage also shows a savory or foxy touch of old leather or spice. I'd suggest a medium-term drinking window. Luca Currado presents his wines in ascending order of power. Because fruit from La Morra's Brunate tends to make more delicate wines, this is the second wine in his flight after the Barolo Castiglione.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e- Robert Parker's Wine Advocate, 94 pts\u003c\/strong\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"VERITAS","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":1020649571,"sku":"Z 1C","price":999.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0566\/6837\/products\/Vietti_Brunate_Barolo.jpg?v=1417788846"},{"product_id":"2014-continuum-proprietary-red-oakville-usa-750ml","title":"2014 Continuum Proprietary Red, Oakville, USA (750ml)","description":"\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eTASTING NOTES:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eFabulous aromas of blueberries, blackcurrants, sage and mint.

At the same time, it’s also quite intense. Peach, apricot and kiwi drive an abundance of ripeness, which cascades into fresh cut flowers, orange blossom and cantaloupe. The citrus really comes to life here as mandarin, Meyer lemon and finally lemon verbena. While green apple, which is typically quite pronounced in Montelena wines, is somewhat overshadowed by the opulence of other flavors, expect it to become more prominent over time. Moreover, the texture is still angular and somewhat tight, which isn’t surprising given the wine’s youth. However, there’s certainly plenty to look forward to with notes of graham cracker, cinnamon and toast lingering beneath the surface. The finish initially leans into d’Anjou pear with some additional baking spice. It slowly transitions back to apple but more as cider than fresh cut. The citrus also persists as lemon zest and there’s a touch of peppery ginger as punctuation.

It's a stunning effort that has classy cassis and black raspberry fruits as well as notes of cedar pencil, dried flowers, graphite, and dried earth. Medium to full-bodied, seamless and elegant on the palate, it's not a massive wine yet has terrific concentration, beautifully balanced tannins, and acidity, and a great finish.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e-Jeb Dunnuck, 95 pts.\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe 2017 Estate Red Wine has a robust nose with juicy aromas and complex layers of red and black fruits that are dense and expressive with resinous purple flowers and integrated oak tones. Full-bodied, the wine initially has a firm tannic grip on the palate, leading to flavors of dark plum skin, dark dusty cherry and blackberry essence with a mineral tension and subtle flavors of bitter dark chocolate and walnuts. The finish is long and textured, guided by a tannic edge. This is delicious but will need two to three years in the cellar before enjoying. Your patience will be rewarded. The wine rested in French oak barrels for 23 months.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e-Robert Parker, 94 pts\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"HENRY FOX","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":13534313350,"sku":"Z 5A","price":93.93,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0566\/6837\/products\/FigginsSQ.png?v=1646752706"}],"url":"https:\/\/www.woodswholesalewine.com\/collections\/premium-gifts-1\/rated_94.oembed?page=19","provider":"Woods Wholesale Wine","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
