99 Points

Saturday, November 25, 2023 - From Paris with Love, 2023 Edition; 11/24/2023-11/25/2023 (Paris): Exceptional is the word that characterises it. Contrasted especially to the effortless elegance and near perfect experience that was the 1989 La Mouline ( Papies 98) that we had it side by side this was just a whole different story.
Still a powerful wine and does not want to let go. It took us for a journey from the opening time when it was screaming for attention with an exuberant nose heat seeking our nostrils to the end of the experience a good two hours later when it relaxed and became ever the savoury, smoky, roast meat classic and epic nose that only La Las of the1980s possess. Impressive wine and indeed that opening nose to us was a bit of Barbara Pravi singing “voila que je suis!” . Magical wine and ever so special. 99 or 100 an irrelevant number to pin point for a wine that ignites such an experience.
