June 29, 2023 - Bordal chez Jean (Syrahs de Guigal): Aveugle. Le hasard a fait que cette Mouline côtoyait Ex-Voto….
Robe très semblable qui montre son âge.
Nez tout aussi superbe et très proche d’Ex-Voto
Au palais, concentration et complexité sont présentes, belle longueur aussi même si La Mouline a fléchi plus vite qu’Ex-Voto -

December 2, 2022 - Very well-defined meniscus, some bricking at the edge as well. Decanted and let it warm up. A lot going on in the aroma; sweet fruit, herb, maple-infused bacon seep into the nose. This bottle falls flat on the palate and the finish though, feels closed and a touch acidic. Should have known to avoid the vintage. For once I agree with Dunnuck, it does lack depth.

August 11, 2022 - At Skinner pre-auction tasting, Newton, Mass.: Less tannin, more acid than La Turque, and a little more of an edge. Strong cherry flavor. Drinkable now. We all liked this but ranked it behind the other two Guigal 2008s.

April 30, 2022 - Decanted for 3+h
Started a tad harsh in the glass but opened up rapidly and evolved nicely over 2,5h.
Cherries, violet, coffe grounds, herbs and a touch of smoke with high acidity. Elegance and power!
The wine really sang with the grilled wagyu and smoked marrow butter. Red meat, salt and fat are your friends!

May 10, 2021 - Double decanted two hours before drinking at the The Mark in NYC for Mother’s Day. 415 cases made. Drinking perfectly now with black and red fruits - cherries, currant and raspberries, wonderful tannins and mouth happy structure. Smokey spine laced with violets, and hints of coffee, bacon and truffles.
