Beautifully expressive, high toned, a little developed but still showing some great intensity, will be great for the next 10yrs.

Had this next to a great new bottle of wine, up and coming producer, No Limit Syrah from Edna Valley. No Limit beat this out on the nose, as this La Mouline was a bit shy. Still much more appreciation has been acquired through the years on these La La's, and not because or RP or the price. These are worth the money, you just need to know what you're in for. That being said, great presence in the mouth, even after these years. Fantastic consistent color profile, and the amazing amount of umami styled eart component to go 'round. I wish I had more of this. Would have preferred the bottle for full analysis, but a fun few ounce tastes nonetheless.

Faded medium garnet with broad auburn rim. Smoke, cedar, meat, black olive, blackberry pie. Medium heat (13%), medium minus acid, medium astringency into long finish. Dark fruit and a little oxidation in mouth. Maybe too old as acid deficient, better without food. Kim thinks corked
