95 Points

Friday, September 10, 2021 - 2021 Athens Wine Event , An event to make up for the last 2 years (Spondi , Athens): Served blind flanked by what would be revealed to be the Chave 1999 ( ( Papies 97) and was along the same wavelength albeit darker and bigger. We guessed late 90s La Mouline as we felt it had a bit of a herby feel we so associate with the La La.
This with time like another 5-10 years will be close to perfect and will be like the great La Las of the 80s now is our call. It’s for sure impressive and close to perfection now but the heavier winemaking style of Guigal still needs time to hit its full stride. Impressive still and an easy 95 but hold on a bit more if you can and what we have here will be very close to a perfect score.
