L'ECOLE NO. 41

Apogee 2014

- 94 points -

Saturated bright medium ruby. Very dark, almost inky aromas of cassis, blackberry, licorice, bitter chocolate and violet, plus a whiff of leather. Big, rich and mouthfilling but not heavy, with its sexy sweetness nicely buffered by harmonious acidity. Very concentrated, fine-grained wine with wonderfully suave, late-arriving tannins and slowly building length. This complete, balanced, edge-free wine won’t require a lot of time to provide great pleasure but it should also evolve beautifully.
