Château Moulin Riche
Saint Julien Red Bordeaux Blend
St. Julien, Médoc, Bordeaux, France
Delightful wine, seeing the other tasting notes I wonder how many people took the time decant the wine in a wide based carafe or a developing decanter an hour or more before drinking? full bodied and hearty for st julien, nice casis and lovely tannin expression and went beautifully with rack of lamb, cheese mash and ratatouille. Still young, but with balance and racy if not long finish. Excellent value and overjoyed that I had the foresight to buy 6 for autumnal drinking. 7 % of beautiful petit verdot from leoville poyferre main vinyard that showed fantastic maturity but simply wasn't needed for the grand vin, together with 30% of the grand vin fruitwent into this and it shiws with spice from the excellent petit verdot and extra depth and complexity from that 30% grand vin. Great wine and the site is now it's own separate vineyard. If you didnt decant this wine at its current stage of evolution then do not rate it. Great value and crying out for food. Hungry again for lamb now.

Celebrating our anniversary with his bottle. Enjoyed it, but it did not take my breath away.
