Nose: Freshly torn mint, light beef, blackberry, dark raspberry, sandalwood, bay leaf; outstanding and expressive
Palate: dark raspberry, light plain beef jerky; long finish of mint explosion, black pepper, bay leaf; dry; medium body; medium+ tannin; medium+ acidity
Overall thoughts: Excellent, expressive, and complex nose and flavor. If I'm being very nitpicky and justifying why I didn't score it even higher, I thought that tannins could be a bit better (but they aren't bad). 98 - 99 points. Best red wine I've had to date! Legendary!

waaaauw what a wine , close to perfection, still razor sharp in the nose and mouth , great color but compare to landonne 85 it had less power was more floral and had less depth, but by it self it was a stunner ! 35 years !! it was not to early and not to late to drink , it was the perfect timing !! yeaaah

Fida's Private lunch with Philippe Guigal and Ralph Garcin (Gramercy Tavern): Floral and bright and lovely and all of that Mouline elegance which is nice to see. Very structured. Hints of spice and lavender. Still on the young side but starting to be in drinking window now I think. Could benefit from a decent decant.

Deep red fruit on the palate and a significant soil component on the finish. In a good spot. 94-95
