Community Tasting Note

Jon Harrison Likes this wine:

Sunday, May 15, 2022 - (Expertly imported by Alain Junguenet). This wine requires cold storage along its import/distributor/retail journey.

Color: Med-dark ruby. Classic.

Nose: Complex, expressive grenache-driven nose of griotte cherry liqueur, wild red raspberry, smoke, and CDP (garrigue) spices. Yes, some barnyard (brett). Some reviewers call this "rustic." Personally, I love it in a traditional CDP. Others dislike the characteristic. So, YMMV.

Palate: Med-full body (14.5%), yet light in its feet. Lovely, saturated flavors of sweet black cherry, raspberry, and wild herbs/garrigue. Ripe soft tannins. Good acidity.

Classic Moulin-Tacussel. Traditional style.

90-91 pts.
Drinks great now (2022). Should develop positively and hold until 2028/29.
