Lot 358 | 2014 Haut Medoc Red Wine 750ml (92-Points)

Lot 358
2014 Haut Medoc Red Wine (92-Points)

750ml

A blend of 58% Cabernet Sauvignon, 40% Merlot, 2% Petit Verdot, the 2014 is beautifully perfumed with cassis berries, cherries, raspberry reduction, wonderfully terroir-driven pyrazine, and fresh-turned leaves. The entry is delicately-fruited but big on terroir; very French on the palate with a bit of red-to-blue fruit quickly moving to clay pot, new leather, and tobacco leaf through the back end, framed by excellent acidity, injected with small, perfectly integrated, grippy tannins. The finish is barrel-kissed with a touch of vanilla resonating with cassis and plum.

Lot 358 | 2014 Haut Medoc

"Even in summer, sometimes there is nothing like a French red wine to pair with food. This 2014 Haut Medoc isn't overpowering so it is a fine complement to a summer meal."

— John D. (4/5)

Amazing value for a French red!

"I've been wanting to try new wines and I gave this french red a shot and I am so glad I did. Love that it was a 2014 too. Did not need to decant long and was fantastic with a steak."

— Jordan V. (5/5)

Not my favorite

"I would say that this one is OK, but I enjoyed the 2015 and 2018 Medoc more, so I will be buying more of those over this. Still a good wine and good for the price but to my tastes the other two are better."

— Brian N. (3/5)

Great Bottle!

"This is a fantastic bottle"

— Christy L. (5/5)

Needs time to open up.

"I opened one bottle and had it within 30 minutes and it felt light, but another bottle I opened 12 hours early and it became more full bodied and softened the tannins."

— Jacqueline S. (5/5)

Bargain Bordeaux

"Solid Bordeaux for the price. It went very well with a grilled fillet. Earthy with smooth tannins. Tannins starting to drop so I’m drinking the bottles I bought this year 2024."

— Jeremy P. (3/5)

Haut Marvelous!

"This wine is full of flavor with a strong finish!"

— Alice P. (5/5)

Medoc Lot 358

"Great! This wine has age well sonic the 2014 harvesting. It should continue to age gracefully for several years to come."

— Michael W. (5/5)

Characteristic Left Bank Bordeaux meets Barbaresco

"Typical left bank profile of cassis, a touch of green bell pepper, tobacco and some Barbaresco character in the terra cotta and leather."

— Andrew R. (4/5)

amazing blend

"This wine was bold, full-bodied, rich. We will definitely buy more."

— Alyson D. (5/5)
