Moulin de La Lagune 2019

Bright on the nose, the palate is dark and quite serious. No massive acidity nor brightness, but there is a lovely refinement to the fruit – it feels sculpted and poised, if not showy and bright. A linear style with a push from start to finish, then a strong menthol character pushing things on the tail.

A rich red with plum and berry aromas and flavors, with some walnuts. Medium body and creamy tannins. Hints of berries and leaves, as well as dark chocolate. Solid character. From organically grown grapes. Same owner as La Lagune. Drink after 2024.

Dark ruby red, purple hues, some brightening on the rim. A leafy-vegetal bouquet, red berry fruit, citrus zest, tobacco nuances. Slender, some nougat, slightly bitter, a salty, astringent finish.

Sweet cedar and smoked black cherry fruits, with plenty of dark spices. This is enjoyable with upfront fruit, well-worked tannins and a sense of lift.

The nose is fruity and offers a certain juiciness, power, and purity of fruit. It reveals notes of pulpy/bright blackcurrant, bright cherry and, more subtly, wild strawberry, combined with touches of nutmeg and pepper, hints of spices, and a subtle hint of fresh tobacco. The palate is fruity, balanced, and offers freshness, minerality, a mineral backbone, and a fine smoothness. On the palate, this wine expresses notes of juicy/tangy blackberry, juicy/tangy Bigarreau cherry and, more lightly, redcurrant, combined with touches of lily and cornflower, hints of nutmeg, as well as discreet toasted and mocha notes. The tannins are flavorful and refined. Good length.

Deeply colored wine with a fruity, moderately intense nose; a pleasant palate, flavorful with a sappy finish. Medium body and length.
