The 2014 Faizeau felt backward on the nose, although I discerned some attractive raspberry and wild strawberry fruit that probably needs another year to blossom. The palate is medium-bodied with crisp tannin, quite rigid at the moment but focused and well defined, leading to a fresh and energetic finish that bodes well for the future. Worth keeping an eye on, hence the plus sign.
