2019 vintage. Good classic Bordeaux, but definitely not in the same league as the best wines in the Moulis appellation (Branas Grand Poujeaux, Poujeaux, Anthonic, Dutruch Grand Poujeaux, Chasse Spleen). A nice highly forgettable drink. Abv. 13%.

Acquired in the Maucaillou tasting room in Bordeaux in 2008, then transported back to the states in a suitcase full of laundry, deposited in my cellar where it has remained until today.
Transparent and fresh. Almost pure ruby, showing only a smidge of bricking at the edges and not much age at all. Very pretty. Earthy nose of no. 2 pencil and old spices that gradually opens to red fruits. Maybe a cliche but this is on the Burgundian side of Bordeaux. So succulent; vibrating with red fruit and lively acids.

Still in St Maarten. Going on week 5 now. Enjoying this beauty. Deep garnet red. Layered nose with leather, tobacco, blackberry, and purple flowers. Medium tannins (5.5/10) and medium minus bodied. Complex palate with black currants, plums, earthiness and spices. Medium plus finish. Drink now.

A delightful surprise perfect medium bodied mature claret in perfect condition. Very smooth and secondary but with the perfect amount of fruit remaining - the great 89 vintage!!!

This one shows the great potential of the 2009 vintage also in less famous chateaus from Medoc like this Moulis. It is not a big wine, yet it is well crafted and rich. Deep red, nose full of ripe red and black fruits, cherries, current, raspberry, a touch of coffee and leather, medium to full body with lovely smooth tannins and pleasant acidity. Fits fantastically with blue cheese and old Comte. My score 88, drink to 2020
