2014 Chateau de Fieuzal rouge - Grand Cru Classe Pessac-Leognan

Decanter.com – 91 pts – JA: *Closed black cherry aroma, not generous now but there is subdued power and tannic hold. House style is evident: firm and big, less lift than other Pessac estates, but the dark, bristling fruit is obvious and there is excellent potential for ageing.* - 04/2015

Robert Parker's Wine Advocate - 90+pts - NM: *The 2014 De Fieuzal was following the Domaine de Chevalier Rouge and frankly that's a difficult act to follow. It certainly does not possess the same precision of fruit concentration, perhaps enduring a reticent, broody stage of its evolution. The palate is medium-bodied with supple tannin and well-judged acidity. Here perhaps more representative of the wine, building in the mouth towards a lovely cedar-tinged finish, leaving you on a high note. Hopefully the aromatics will develop with bottle age and then it will merit a higher score.* -03/2017

04/15: *A lightly singed cedar note runs amid the red currant and cherry fruit. Offers a fresh, open finish. This
usually fills out a bit more with the élevage.—J.M.* (88-91/100)

JamesSuckling.com - 92pts - JS: * The complex savory, herbal and earthy nose leads into a medium-bodied wine with some real concentration and a nice freshness on the finish, where there are some serious but well-integrated tannins.* - 02/2017

Vinous.com – 91 pts – AG: *The 2014 de Fieuzal is a bold, racy wine. Sweet red cherry, iron, smoke and tobacco give the wine its distinctive flavor profile. The tannins have softened quite a bit over the last 18 months, which has allowed the fruit to show lovely succulence and creaminess. Drink this juicy Pessac-Leognan now and over the next handful of years. There is plenty to like in this expressive sleeper wine for the vintage. Tasted two times.* - 02/2017

Vinous.com – 90 pts – NM: *The 2014 de Fieuzal has a detailed bouquet with mineral-driven black fruit, graphite and cold stone aromas that achieve an impressive degree of focus. The palate is medium-bodied with firm tannin, quite saline in the mouth with a lightly spiced and attenuated finish.* - 03/2018

Thewinecellarinsider.com – (89-90) pts – JL: *This medium-bodied wine is filled with smoldering red and black fruit, slightly tinged with the essence of tobacco.* - 04/2015
