Les Tourelles de Longueville, Pauillac, 2014

The 2014 Les Tourelles de Longueville has a rather muddled and herbaceous bouquet that lacks real lift from the glass. The palate is medium-bodied with fine tannin, fresh and lively, not complex but there is decent length towards the finish. I have never been totally convinced by this Deuxième Vin and this blind tasting is further evidence that other vintages offer much more. Tasted blind at the annual Southwold tasting.
