Wednesday, June 27, 2018 - Moulin Touchais: A retrospective tasing conducted by Frederik Wilbrenninck and Richard Kelley MW; 6/26/2018-6/27/2018 (The Institute of Masters of Wine, London SW11): 100% passerillage grapes, no botrytis in this heatwave vintage. 'It would have been fantastic with just a bit more acidity.' says Frederik Wilbrenninck.
Gosh, this is very impressive wine. Generous, warm blood orange, red cherry compote, peach jam, real intensity here and the acidity is in balance and well handled in my hedonistic viewpoint. Slight torréfaction on the back end but this comes across well and very fresh. Full on fat texture.
