Other Reviews...
The Château Labégorce 2014 is a blend of 50% Cabernet Sauvignon, 48% Merlot and 2% Petit Verdot and matured in 50% new oak. The nose is well defined and focused, tensile blackberry and boysenberry fruit embroidered with fine mineralité. Good start! The palate is medium-bodied with supple ripe tannin, saturated black cherry and raspberry fruit with a gentle, silky finish that just needs a little more backbone. That is a minor quibble for what could be an excellent wine from this fast-improving Margaux estate. Don't be surprised if it merits a higher score in bottle. Drink 2019 - 2035.

A touch airy, with damson plum, pomegranate and violet notes, backed by a light savory whiff on the finish. Fills in a bit on the back end.
87-90 points
J.M. - Wine Spectator
Rich density of fruit typical of Labegorce. Big broad flavours that are robust but still with some Margaux elegance. Good future.
16.75/20pts (89/100pts)
Decanter
A very classy young red with super classy tannins. Medium to full body, fresh fruit and bright acidity.
