Château Moulin de la Rose 2020

Seriously perfumed and aromatic on the nose. Taut and streamlined, with a lovely deep, rich, ripe fruit flavor. This is nicely defined with a tense core and focus from start to finish, while ripe blackcurrant, perfumed black cherries and strawberries are lifted by high acidity that has bite and a touch of sourness. Tannins are fine and give the frame. Fresh, lifted finish. A touch severe right now with the acidity and sense of tension, but this has nice potential. Eric Boissenot consultant.

A juicy, structured red with blackberries, iodine, spice, and orange peel, with hints of dark tobacco and tea. Medium to full body. Firm, chewy tannins and a structured finish. Give it time to soften and open. Try after 2025.

With touches of spice and tobacco along with its core of red fruits, the wine is medium-bodied, soft and fresh, with an upfront, creamy, sweet, cherry-packed finish. I like the light touch of cocoa that sneaks in at the end too. This will be at its best over the next decade or so. Drink from 2023-2033.

Dark, intense, purple color. Very aromatic, refined nose with pure fruit. Delicate on the attack, very fruity mid-palate, slender in shape; the wine caresses the palate, flavorful with no tannic edges on the finish. Blend: 65% Cabernet Sauvignon, 35% Merlot. Alcohol: 14% – pH: 3.69 – IPT: 75. Yield: 44 hl/ha. Production: 90% of the harvest.
