Comment by Robert Parker: From a heavily calcareous vineyard, the 100% Syrah 2014 Chateau Haut Blanville Murmures combines hints of spring florals with baking spices and cedary oak. It’s both riper smelling and lighter feeling than the other cuvées, with plummy notes, a medium to full-bodied feel on the palate and silky tannins on the long finish
