Drinking well with its big, rich flavors & beautiful aromatics showing dark cherry, berry, lots of spice, game, iron, underbrush, pepper & floral notes — 3 months ago

Dark brooding color, opaque in the glass. Great nose from the start. Notes of black fruit, red cherries, dark spice, menthol, slate stone and dark earth. Silky smooth and savory in the mouth. Blind I might have guessed this as a rich Guigal La Mouline. Still in the early part of its journey, this can be drunk now and over the next 10 years. — 3 years ago

Side by side Chave and Guigal La Mouline from 2000. Pretty special. These wines are both extraordinary in every sense of that word. — 6 years ago

Opened as part of a 2-day tasting with Alex Macdonald while he was in town. Day two was a small group of us with killer wines (2010 Chave Hermitage, mag of ‘02 Krug, Selosse Substance, 1996 Latour, 2003 Mouton, 1992 Dominus).

Quick one hour double decant to prep this beauty. While La Mouline is my favorite, La Turque still incorporates the co-ferment with Viognier. 93 Syrah/7 Viognier.

Beautiful translucent ruby in the glass. As I get with certain Cote Rotie wines (especially Guigal), barbecue and bacon fat can be overwhelming when young, but this has channeled a really balanced profile. Aromatic notes of smoked meat, cherry liqueur, and espresso. Beautifully rich yet elegant on the palate. Great nerve of acidity with a finish sporting plenty of tannin to carry this a while. Black peppered raspberries, black fruit on the palate with a little bacon and a hint of sweet/tangy barbecue sauce note (delicious). Enjoy now with a short decant or hold another 5yrs. — 10 months ago

The best bottle I’ve had of this ever.
Amazingly fresh, sweet and full-bodied I was guessing ‘99 Guigal La Mouline...and that is a HUGE compliment! — 7 years ago

Tasted blind. Bright purplish tawny color, mostly translucent. Amazing aroma. Sweet nose with notes of rich dark fruit, smoked meats, and some bacon fat. Great richness in the mouth, like velvet. The nose though is amazing and I keep a glass of this by my side all day to keep going back to. To me it seems like this is a super rich Guigal Mouline so I go with that and a 1990 guess. So exciting to have the reveal show it's the rare Cathelin bottling which I've never had. My wine of the day for sure. I can still smell this the next day. Thks Steve! — 2 years ago
