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!

Just a beautiful wine from a master wine maker. Dark fruits, hint of spice and herds.
