Wine Spectator
Stellar in quality, with great concentration but also great finesse. Exuberant blackberry and tobacco aromas with hints of cedar lead to masses of fruit on the palate and full, silky tannins. One for the next century.

Robert Parker, The Wine Advocate
A veritable smorgasbord of heavenly delights. The dark ruby/purple color is opaque, suggesting low yields and super concentration. In the mouth, there is only one word to describe the texture and intensity, and that is explosive. It is amazingly concentrated, and much more structured and tannic than I remembered. The problem with this wine, much like many of the finest Pomerols, is that the production is minuscule(1,500 cases). The Guigal La Mouline of Pomerol? Anticipated maturity: Now - 2008.
 

Additional Information

Region :
France
Though French wines are the highest valued wines in the world, esteemed wines from Bordeaux, Burgundy and Champagne were only enjoyed locally until 150 years ago when transportation improvements made them widely available. French wine production is governed by a strict quality-control system, which regulates the grapes used in each region and classifies wineries according to an elaborate cru hierarchy. Cabernet Sauvignon, Chardonnay, Pinot Noir, Syrah and Sauvignon Blanc are just a few of the important grape varietals with roots in French soil. View all our items from France
