Tasting Notes | ||||
---|---|---|---|---|
This blend of 68% Cabernet Sauvignon, 21% Merlot and 11% Petit Verdot, with Michel Rolland as the consultant, displays a deep ruby/purple color and possesses straightforward notes of black and red currants intermixed with cedar wood, roasted herbs and underbrush. It is a medium-bodied, silky-textured wine to drink over the next 10-15 years. Score: 87 Robert Parker, Wine Advocate, RobertParker.com Maturity: 2013-2028 01 February 2013 |

Made by the Léoville Poyferré team, from separate plots to the west near Ch Talbot. Great balance and punch. Richness. Real length, excitement. Around €15. Could be a good buy. Just a little short on the end but very classic. GV Score: 16 - 17 Jancis Robinson MW, JancisRobinson.com Maturity: 2016-2023 12 May 2011 |

Tasted at the chateau, the Moulin Riche is a blend of 59% Cabernet Sauvignon, 30% Merlot and 11% Petit Verdot and is showing a lot of oak on the nose with blackberry, a touch of fruitcake, graphite and tar. A hint of mocha emerges with time. The palate is medium-bodied with very fine tannins, very supple and rounded but counterbalanced with good acidity, leading to a silky smooth finish polished by judicious creamy oak. Very in keeping with Didier Cuvelier’s style. Very fine. Drink 2012- Tasted March 2011. Score: 90 - 91 Neal Martin, Wine Advocate, RobertParker.com Maturity: 2012+ 18 April 2011 |

Juicy and vivid, with lots of raspberry, cassis and blackberry fruit woven with a perfumy black tea note. There's plenty of grip on the back end, but this is lush and has melded nicely already. Score: 90 - 93 James Molesworth, Wine Spectator 31 March 2011 |
