2014 Chateau Lalande Borie

92 POINTS

Roger Voss - Wine Enthusiast

The wine is dense with great fruit and accompanying structure. With its dark ripe berry fruits and full tannins, the wine is powerful although with great elegance. It is stylish, full of complexity ready to age well. Drink from 2024.

91–93. Barrel Sample. This wine has the dusty tannins that are typical of the vintage. Ripe red plums and berries are combined with refreshing acidity on the palate, and lead to a structured and dense finish.

Jane Anson - Decanter Magazine

This is a spicy, rich, more traditional St Julien compared to the 2015, or especially the 2016. It's totally charming and pretty much ready to go. It starts extremely well with crisply defined cassis and blackberry, softening a touch through the finish.

James Suckling

Lots of blackberry, nut and chocolate character. Some wet earth, too. Medium to full body, velvety tannins and a light, herbal finish. Drink in 2018.
