‘Blankiet was among the highlights in my tastings of the 2014s. The wines have aged impeccably and are in a sweet spot today to of fer maximum pleasure. It’ s always a bit difficult to taste wines from this era, as the 2014s were made by Denis and May-Britt Malbec for proprietors Claude and Katherine Blankiet before Denis’ passing in an automotive accident. The wines will remain a brilliant testament to what the Malbecs achieved at Blankiet.’
‘The 2014 Prince of Hearts has aged impeccably , especially considering this wine was Blankiet’ s entry-level wine at the time. Bright in color and fresh, the 2014 is a delight. Crushed flowers, sweet, red-toned fruit, orange peel, spice, and cedar are all laced together . At ten years of age, the 2014 remains youthful and vibrant. Readers who still own it should be delighted. What a pretty wine this is!
