Believe it or not, this is my first La-La and what a way to do it with a 1994 no less! Flintstone vitamins, gym socks, pomegranate, purple flowers, minerals like crazy…and what seemed like an impenetrable wall of granite. Tons of baking spices. Modern? Yeah of course but my goodness the quality is indisputable and this worked really well with Iberico pork cheek, mushroom ragu with lavender and thyme. The reality is, even at 30 years old, this is youthful. Drink now through, I dunno, 2044?

From a good looking bottle with a high fill. Dark and opaque in the glass. Exotic nose. Notes of smoked meat, black fruit, menthol, some olives and lots of spice. Rich and silky in the mouth. Great finish. Really good but missing the impact and weight in the middle of the best vintages of Mouline.

Maybe the best wine of the night in a crowded field. I love everything about LaLa's and layers of smoked meats, bacon fat and leather were intoxicating. Fantastic stuff!
