2018 vintage. Owned by the same family since 1870, until the fifth generation, Lionel Poitou sold this 10 hectares estate to 3 Israeli winemakers. La Tour du Haut Moulin has a long reputation for value for money, and this 2018 is no exception. Solid dark red colour with only a little evolution. In the mouth it features a serious black fruit concentration, balanced by fresh acidity and a serious tannic backbone, while avoiding the alcohol heath that sometimes characterises this hot vintage. It has an old school slightly rustic feel about it, but it's incredible value for money. Drinking very well now, but no need to hurry, I am convinced it will last at least for another decade. I found this in a local supermarket for 8,09 euro, I kid you not! Life is fine for wine lovers in the Bordeaux region. Abv. 13,5%. I am curious to see what the new owners will achieve with this estate, there should be huge potential . — 3 months ago

All in roundness, on notes of caramel, undergrowth, musk, and cook and roasted. It will win again with a few years in the cellar

Tout en rondeur, sur des notes de caramel, sous-bois, musk, et cuire et torréfiées. Il gagnera encore avec quelques années en cave — 6 years ago

Deep red brick color from long cellaring. Rich full bodied with viscous oily legs. Notes of wet clay, forest floor, mint and sage in the bouquet. Now ripened raspberries, now sweet tomato slow roasted under the oven light, now strawberry cream, now spiced baked cherries, with hints of cinnamon, flinty cave stone, and salt water in the palate. Soft but rich mouthfeel with balanced tannins that are nicely polished but keep a good grip. Green tea, hints of mild tomato, pie spices (cloves, nutmeg, cinnamon) lingering on the finish. Notes of smoked bacon fat, fried egg, herbs, and spices keep lingering for many minutes. Please do not pair with anything ;) — 7 years ago

Nose of candied fruit and menthol cigarette ( before lighting),; some flint,; bright, lively purple; soft and balanced. Would be good with light dishes, but nice to just sip by itself. — 10 years ago

2017 vintage. As I just started to work at the Cave d'Arcins ( please reach out if you visit the Médoc !), I will get even more exposure to the Castel wines from their own properties, many of which I've enjoyed in the past. Château d'Arcins has been a long time favourite value wine. The 2017 is ready to drink, in a somewhat lighter style compared to the best vintages. While not as refined as the 2022 and 2019, it's still offering a bang for the buck at 13 euros. Give it 15 minutes to breathe, and enjoy a classic Haut-Médoc with a rustic old school feel about it in this vintage. A nice food wine. Abv. 13%. — 7 months ago

Wine from Morocco 🇲🇦 , good in term of balance, and value for money. Paid the equivalent of € 15-17. For this price we have a beautiful expression of Cabernet-Sauvignon, « on the fruit » with discreet aging. Persistent finish and a nice overall balance.

Vin du Maroc, haut du panier en matière d’équilibre, et rapport qualité/prix. Payé l’equivalent de 15-17€ en cave. Pour ce prix on a une belle expression du Cabernet-Sauvignon, sur le fruit avec un élevage discret. Finale finement persistante et un bel équilibre général. — 6 years ago

From Intermarché in France, around €7-8 so one of the more 'expensive' ones we got from that trip. Would buy again if we go back. — 2 years ago
