La Mouline 2008 - Guigal
Cote-rotie - Guigal
93/100 Wine Spectator
Cellaring: Drink now or cellar until 2025.
Tasted by JM in 2012: "A seductive wine, with aromas and flavors of macerated currant, black truffle, roasted apple wood and espresso all blending together, supported by a solid backbone of charcoal and ganache notes. An underlying bloodiness is there and should emerge more as the wine mellows in the cellar. Best from 2013 to 2025." JM
Grape varieties: 89% Syrah, 11% Viognier.
Vinification: In temperature-controlled stainless steel vats. Traditional pumping over. Fermentation : Alcoholic/maceration for 4 weeks.
