| Tasting notes | : |
Aromas of coffee, dark berries, blueberries and cocoa. Very subtle and perfumed. Full-bodied, firm and very silky with ultra-fine tannins and a savory, mineral and bright finish. Mushroom and bright berry undertones. Needs three or four years for bottle age. Try in 2020. - James Suckling Deep garnet-purple colored, the 2014 Quella is scented of blackberry preserves, fruitcake and crushed rocks with hints of cigar box, dried Provence herbs and Indian spices. Medium to full-bodied, it has a firm backbone of grainy tannins and great freshness lifting the black fruit and earth layers, finishing on a lingering mineral note. (LPB) - Wine Advocate The 2014 Quella is showing beautifully. Floral and savory overtones give the wine its energy and tension. The 2014 has really come along over the last six months. Today it is vibrant and full of life, with an understated sense of power that is compelling. The 2014 has developed very nicely since I last tasted it, but it still has room to grow. (AG) 96+ - Vinous The 2014 Quella is one of the most aromatic and complex in the lineup. Coming from more seabed and volcanic soils (similar to the Melbury) and sporting a deep purple color and lifted notes of spice cake, black cherries, blueberries, violets and iron-like minerality, this beauty is medium to full-bodied, elegant, has bright acidity, and a great finish. Drink it anytime over the coming 20+ years. - Jeb Dunnuck |
