La Mouline Côte-Rôtie Syrah

Lean and oaky. Needless to say it’s a great wine wine but you are entitled to ask for more here, regardless of vintage.

Just a baby but still delicious with a decant. Can only imagine how good this will be in 20 more years

Ripe red fruits, tar, varm asphalt and roasted herbs on the nose. Fresh, youthful and complex, this is pretty impressive stuff. Needs time to integrate. Needs another 5+ years.

Beautiful soft cherry, blackcurrant, smoky fruit and leather. Iodene and deep intense fruit. Gorgeously supple and lean. A baby, but a wonderful future

Exceptional

Roasted mushrooms, coffee grounds, cocoa, dried figs, olive tapenade. Very savory finish. Drinking very well.

#1985 still tasting it

Under brush.

Murky darker scarlet. Barely transparent in the glass. Wild nose with notes of black cherry, menthol, granite stone and earth. Incredibly rich and silky in the mouth. Everything is there, and in great balance. Still young. Still remembering the taste the next day.

Mouline is usually the best texture of the La La wines of the bunch for me. Silky smooth.
