James Suckling: 93 Points
Wonderfully perfumed with strawberry and rose character. Full body, silky and chewy tannins with a creamy texture and a lemon-rind, crushed-berry and cherry undertone. Better in 2020 but a joy to taste now.
Wine Advocate: 91 Points
The 2014 Beaune 1Er Cru Aux Cras was slightly more reduced on the nose when I tasted it at the domaine. The fruit feels dark and broody at the moment. The palate is grippy on the entry, predicating a muscular and sinewy Aux Cras that does not want to be messed with. That said, one can already sense the harmony and focus towards the finish, as this wine begins to calm down and lose its nascent temper. Give it 3-4 years...or else.
Vinous: 90 Points
Moderately saturated bright red. Cool aromas of black cherry, licorice and stone lifted by a violet topnote. Densely packed and quite backward, showing attractive spice and saline elements to the black cherry fruit. Nicely concentrated and delineated. Finishes with strong but essentially round tannins. A very good showing.
