Product Description

JS98 Spectacular aromas of blackcurrants and flowers such as violets. Bark and tea. Full body and firm and silky tannins. Excellent structure. Minerals, stones and plenty of cement character. Very long and intense. Better in 2020, but already great.

AG97+ Futo's 2014 5500 is dark, powerful and imposing, with plenty of youthful tannins and tons of intensity. A host of crushed rocks, menthol, lavender, smoke, crème de cassis and inky blue/purplish fruit give the 2014 much of its personality. Vibrant and structured to the core, the 2014 is riveting today. Here, too, the oak has integrated very well. The 2014 is a powerful, explosive wine endowed with real personality. It is also one of the wines of the vintage.
