It has 14.1% alcohol and 2 g/L residual sugar with lot number 1605583 on the lower part of the glass bottle. The 2014 (***) with 92-points was last released on August 19, 2017 at $61.95. |

| TASTING NOTE: Clos du Val's 2014 Cabernet Sauvignon is super-impressive ... Savory and mineral-driven in style, the 2014 possesses remarkable intensity to match its chiseled, finely-sculpted personality. Medium in body, structured and classic in feel, the 2014 is shaping up to be a real beauty. This could turn out to be one of the overachievers of the vintage. Drinking window: 2019-2034. Score - 91-94 (Antonio Galloni, vinous.com, Oct. 2015) |
