E. Guigal La Mouline Côte-Rôtie 2008

Opaque ruby. Powerful, mineral-accented aromas of black raspberry and boysenberry, with exotic Asian spice and incense notes building in the glass. Youthfully taut and wound up, offering bright red and dark berry liqueur flavors and cracked pepper and floral pastille qualities that gain power with air. Closes bright and pure, trailing intense flavors of red fruit. Score - 94. (Josh Raynolds, International Wine Cellar, March/April 2013)
