E. Guigal La Mouline

94-97/100 PP Tight, unevolved and borderline backwards (which is rare for this cuvée), the 2013 Côte Rôtie La Mouline is a wine that reminds Marcel Guigal of the 2006. It offers a terrific perfume of spiced red and black fruits, violets, lots of minerality and even a hint of damp forest floor to go with a full-bodied, elegant, seamless style on the palate. It’s not the most massive wine in the lineup, but it has terrific purity, fine, polished tannin and beautiful length. It should dish out ample pleasure over the coming 20 years. (Jeb Dunnuck, robertparker.com) 96/100 vinous (made with 50 percent whole clusters) Bright purple. A complex, intensely perfumed bouquet of fresh black and blue fruit, candied licorice and Asian spice scents develops a sexy floral note as the wine opens up. Vibrant and appealingly sweet on the palate, offering intense, smoke-tinged black currant, boysenberry, floral pastille and spicecake flavors energized by a refreshing snap of juicy acidity. Blends richness and vivacity with a deft hand and finishes extremely long and gently tannic, leaving a sappy blue fruit note behind. (Josh Raynolds, vinous.com) 97/100 Falstaff Dunkles Rubingranat. Dunkelmineralisch, reife, süße Pflaumen, etwas Lakritze, kandierte Veilchen, ein Hauch von Röstaromen, Wild und schwarze Pfefferwürze. Stoffig, elegante Textur, schwarze Herz­kirschen, extraktsüße, seidige, aber tragende Tannine, konzentriert, ein angenehmer Nougatanklang, reife Zwetschken im Nachhall, bleibt sehr lange haften, etwas Mokka im Rückgeschmack, sicheres Entwicklungspotenzial.
