Moulin Haut Laroque Size:12x750ml

Moulin Haut Laroque Size:12x750mlThis seems so different from the fresher wines in this Lea & Sandeman tasting! Dry finish. And just not quite enough flesh in the middle. A bit expensive for what it offers.

but oh so promising

with gobs of spicy black fruits

(from vines that average around 60+ years of age

with super-polished tannins and a finish that goes on for minutes

Multi-site blend with a significant proportion from Wairau

and potential quality

Here the reticent nose is at once ripe yet cool with a lovely layered quality to the mix of violet

where sandy soils are covered by volcanic ash from the eruption of the Chinyero Vulcano in 1909

The caressing yet entirely serious medium weight plus flavors possess good density for the vintage

just 20% new

there is a point of sour cherry on the close

flavors that still flash ample power on the clean and dry finale that is sufficiently tightly wound to repay a decade
