De Ierse eigenaars vertrouwden de vinificatie van hun rode wijn toe aan Hubert de Boüard van Angélus. Fieuzal Rouge 2014 tooit het glas in robijnrood en biedt een mooie neus met accenten van vanille en cassis. De wijn is intens en toegankelijk met zijn hinten naar braambessen en rode bessen. Het oordeel laat niet op zich wachten: dit is succulent, zacht en fris. De aroma's van Fieuzal Rouge verrassen en brengen glans en onderbouw aan een voor de rest diepe en fijne wijn. Dit is bijzonder geslaagd en mocht niet ontbreken aan onze selectie.

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. Drink 2019-2032.

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.

The Château de Fieuzal Rouge 2014 is a blend of 65% Cabernet Sauvignon, 25% Merlot and 10% Cabernet Franc. I have enjoyed what consultant Hubert de Bouard has brought this Pessac-Léognan in recent years, the nose full with blackberry and warm gravel scents that are nicely defined, with well-integrated, new oak. The palate is medium-bodied with a pleasing roundness and depth on the entry. There is good structure here, just the right amount of sappy black fruit on the generous finish to urge another sip. This has good potential after bottling.

A red with attractive currant and berry character. Medium body, firm tannins and fresh acidity. Builds on the palate with a chewy finish. Shows potential.

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. FieuzalLochlann Quinn is eigenaar van Château Fieuzal een wijngaard in Pessac Léognan van 75 hectare.
