Vinous Media 90
The 2014 Les Fiefs de Lagrange is bold and intense, with a real sense of gravitas to the dark red stone fruit, iron, smoke and licorice flavors. A delicious second wine, the Fiefs is best enjoyed sooner rather than later. This is in a style built for impact rather than finesse.

Tasting notes
Red in color with purple hues, a complex nose, with a rich mouth typical of this great vintage of Fiefs! Cherry, blackcurrant, liquorice and pepper aromas dominate the palate but also with a cool roundness that brings with it a certain elegance. A long finish for this wine of which vines are on average 32 years.
Weather
2014 will be remembered for its Indian summer, leading to over average temperatures and beautiful dry weather. The total rainfall between 16th August and 6th October was a mere 11mm.
