Nydelig, dyp strågul farge i glasset.
Noe reduktiv innledningsvis, men dette blåste bort i løpet av en time med luft. Deretter viste den hint av oksidative toner (overmodne, røde epler), sitrus, flint og mandelessens.
I munnen var den strukturert med høy syre og en rund munnfølelse. Hint av fat, men pent balansert. Ellers er mandel, etter min mening, den dominerende aromaen over sitrusfrukter og epler. Kompleks og deilig, men for meg blir mandel og det oksidative en tanke for dominerende. Når kveite med smørsaus kommer på bordet er vinen imidlertid ypperlig. Dette gjelder også for harde, modne oster, til dessert.

1979 Moulin Touchais Coteaux du Layon
1/5/2024 - GAVK Likes this wine: 90 Points
Old wine, which, despite its age, still has a lot of spark.
Colour: Beautiful dark amber
Nose: raisins and dried fruits, blue cheese, red apple and honey
Mouth: tastes of dried fruits, but not as sweet as the sugar content would let you believe. savoury and with good acidity still. A long, almost salty finish. Medium plus intensity.
Not the most complex wine, but a nice experience. Worked very well with a cheese platter consisting of both blue cheese, soft and hard cheeses.
This can probably be stored for many years to come, but I’m not sure if it will get any better.
Edit: On day two. It still holds up, but with notably more oxidative notes in the form of fallen apples and sherry

Starting to develop some tertiary aromas, but still very primary. Nicely oaked (not too heavy, but just enough to add to the complexity with aromas of spices), with aromas of cherry, dried tobacco leaves, spices and dried fruits. In the mouth, the wine is Structured, with high acidity and gripping tannins. This, in combination with the long finish, suggests that this can develop nicely for many years to come.
