(Moulin Touchais Coteaux du Layon, Loire Valley) The 1985 displayed a deep golden color, the fruit evolving into notes of dried apricot, raisin, orange peel, and ginger. It showed the same lively acidity as the 1989 on a long finish, featuring a noteworthy mineral element. Winery Spotlight: Moulin Touchais

Lightly corked, especially the nose. In the mouth a balanced perhaps young wine that I drank although others at the dinner did not. Noteworthy that this is still available locally for around $50.

High levels of acidity. Almond / pastry notes. Dried fruit

So good for its value, the complexity of age though could have done with more complexity and structure.

Dull yellow. Honeyed pear. Medium weight, not as full or glycerine as some dessert Chenin Blanc. Moderate sweetness, lovely spice, fine acidity. Vigorous and excellent purity of fruit. Moulin Touchais is so hit or miss; this was a definite hit and in no danger of imminent decline.
