E. Guigal La Mouline Côte-Rôtie Syrah 1990

Mike Saviage

Tasted blind... we're served three glasses from three brown bagged bottles. They all are similar in color: dark reddish tawny. This is rich and luscious with notes of red and black fruit, dark spices, some smoked meat, some warm earthy fruit pie and a little soy. Improved with air over the evening. By now we're on to the 1990 theme of the evening and these are clearly La La bottles, so which is this? I guess the 90 Mouline given its profile and that of the other two. For me this was the best of the three, although the La Turque was right there too.

Murky darker scarlet. Barely transparent in the glass. Wild nose with notes of black cherry, menthol, granite stone and earth. Incredibly rich and silky in the mouth. Everything is there, and in great balance. Still young. Still remembering the taste the next day.

Doug Kahn

One of the best wines I’ve had all year

Extraordinarily powerful aromas of herbs, leather, and peppercorns with a beautifully opulent and sanguine mid palate. The finish just doesn't end! One of the best Rhones all year!

Nathaniel DiMaggio

Hitting kalamata spots. Beautiful, time to drink in my opinion. Good balance point. Took about 45 minutes to really open up.

Thx eazy-e... Barnyard

The most profound of the night's three La-La's, racy dark red fruit and that refined, feminine thing the La Moulines often show

Hanibal

One of the top 5 wines i have had in my life without hesitation. Worth every penny. The intensity the aromas and aftertaste of this wine was pure joy. Beat the la landonne 90 had at the same time

Sylvain Rhainds

1990! Ma plus grande LaLaLa a vie! Magique. Matière incroyable, fruit, fumée, bacon, etc... dans mon top 5 a vie over all!

Aaron Hamrock

Dark fruit, menthol, anise. Tannins have faded in this wine. The fruit and acid are in perfect harmony.
