The 2014 Domaine de l’A is dark, racy and explosive. Beams of tannin support a core of explosive dark red stone fruit, smoke, licorice and new leather. The oak tannins remain a bit prominent at this stage, which makes the Domaine de l’A a rare 2014 that needs more time in bottle. The blend is 80 % Merlot and 20 % Cabernet Franc.
