| CHÂTEAU HYOT 2014 AC Côtes de Bordeaux Castillon |
| Vintage Assessments Tasting Note |
Producer |
|
| Deep intense purple colour. Intense, spicy, warm plum puree nose with some sandalwood-mocha-chocolate notes. Dry, medium bodied, very slightly herbal, intense, ripe plum and baked cherry flavours with a very crisp, mineral-tinged, mocha-chocolate finish. This blend of Merlot 60%, Cabernet Franc 20% and Cabernet Sauvignon 20% has 13.5% alcohol and 4 g/L residual sugar. I have to admit that as tasty as this is, I would not have thought with all the smoky mocha-chocolate notes that it was a Bordeaux! The 2012 (**) was released on December 10, 2016 at $17.95. |

| TASTING NOTE: This is a ripe, fruity wine with its black-currant fruit and balanced sweet tannins. It has a fine elegant texture and juicy acidity. All these elements promise a wine that will be delicious to drink from 2019. The daughters of owners Bernadette Faure and Alain Aubert oversee vineyards, winemaking and marketing. Editors' Choice.
