Bremer Eiswette 2014 - Chateau Lilian Ladouys Crus Borgeois Exceptionnels
-- Internet: -- Parker: Elegant, with loads of black currant fruit, cherries and dusty, loamy soil notes as well as hints of tobacco leaf, spice box and cedar, it is a medium to full-bodied, nicely textured, fleshy wine that should drink nicely for 10-15+ years. This is the best wine I have ever tasted from this property, which has gone through many changes and frequent listless, uninspiring performances. The change to a better class of St.-Estephe was started by the late Vincent Mulliez, who passed away tragically last year, but who got things started by reducing yields, cleaning up the place, eliminating the TCA that had tainted so many wines in the past, and going with a blend of 60% Cabernet Sauvignon and 40% Merlot. The result is the best wine they have ever made, or at least the finest I have ever tasted from them. 90/100 -- MG: Strahlt Wärme, Reife und Süsse aus, konzentrierte schwarze- und rote Frucht, zeigt auch Tiefgang in Form von Trüffel- und Tabakaromen. Mächtiger, reicher, opulenter Gaumen, aber vor allem sehr edel und raffiniert, ein St. Estèphe Grand Seigneur, charaktervoll und tiefgründig, der Wein besitzt ein verblüffendes Geschmacksspektrum, da ist noch einiges an Potential drin. Es hat sich schon letztes Jahr abgezeichnet, dass dieses Weingut im Aufwind ist, aber jetzt ist hier bereits ein grosser Wurf gelungen. 18/20 -- WS: Dark color, with a spiced nose of cloves and cardamom. Tar too. Full-bodied, with round and velvety tannins and a rich, fruity aftertaste. Gorgeous young wine. 92-95/100 -- WE: A fine and spicy wine, the wood toast well integrated with the sweet fruit. Deliciously ripe Merlot vies with the Cabernet tannins to give a dark, complex wine. 92-94/100
