Critics Scores
Burghound
Somewhat surprisingly this is notably more elegant than it usually is with its expressive nose of black and red pinot fruit, spice and abundant earth and tea scents. There is a lovely sense of underlying tension to the precise, muscular and powerful flavors that possess excellent size, weight and finishing punch on the youthfully austere, firm and huge finale that is borderline chewy. This may be moderately more elegant than usual but it remains a Clos de Vougeot all the same and one that it going to require fully 15 years to reach its apogee. If you have the patience, this is knock-out good for the appellation.
Robert parker's Wine Advocate
The 2014 Clos de Vougeot Grand Cru builds on the promise from last year with great transparency and sense of energy on the nose: blackberry, wild hedgerow and superb mineralité. The palate is medium-bodied with crisp tannin, energetic and tensile, full of vibrancy and tension with a structured, quite grippy finish. Give this 3-4 years in bottle and it may even warrant a higher score.
Vinous
Bright red-ruby. Classic Clos de Vougeot aromas of dark cherry, licorice and minerals. Concentrated, spicy and sweet; surprisingly pliant in the middle palate for the cru and for the vintage but with lovely inner-mouth energy too. The dark fruit flavors are complicated by an element of saline minerality. Not as austere as I would have expected but still in a rather masculine style and finishing with plenty of tannic clout. This deep, vigorous wine offers lovely lingering perfume. My score may prove to be unnecessarily conservative but this wine needs extended aging.
