November 28, 2013 - What a fully packed wine this is!
Almost like black ink!
Smoke, smoked meat, dust, herbs, vanilla, wood, tar, charcoal, dark cherries and plums.
On the palate this is dark, dark, deep with almost black sweet and jammy ripe fruit and oak.
Black pepper, and all kind of dark berries I can think of, in a big jam mash.
So packed, dense and powerful, it’s almost overwhelming.
It has a certain silkiness to it, despite tannins and acidity.
I don’t really know what to say about this wine, except for that is has everything in it, and allot of it, and that this is a young fruit bomb at this time.
This will need serious amounts of time to come together.
A real “Parker” wine, sort of.
Where will this go?
I for sure can’t tell or even guess…
Well made it is, that much is sure, but not my kind of wine at this stage.
It might clock in at 100 points, or end up as something more suitable for a good (and expensive) redwine sauce?
Still, knowing what Guigal always delivers, I guess rather the sooner of above?
Very different from any other La Mouline (or any other La,La) I have ever had.
Hard to judge and score, but for tonight’s performance I would give it 93 – 94 for points, mainly for being such a well made wine, but still it has far too much of everything to really suite my taste.1 person found this helpful 3,791 views
