Massive, powerful, tannic, full bodied and concentrated. There is intensity of fruit and flavor, a wall of tannin, but the tannins are ripe and polished. The purity of black and blue fruits, jam, smoke, oak are in full force, with length and palate staining concentration. The ABV is a whopping 15.9%, but there is very little heat found here. In time, this should be an even better wine.

When to Drink Chateau Moulin du Cadet, Anticipated Maturity, Decanting Time

Chateau Moulin du Cadet needs some time before it can be enjoyed. Young vintages can be decanted for an average of 1 hour or more. This allows the wine to soften and open its perfume. Older vintages might need very little decanting, just enough to remove the sediment.

Chateau Moulin du Cadet is usually better with at least 4-6 years of bottle age. Of course, that can vary slightly, depending on the vintage character. Chateau Moulin du Cadet offers its best drinking and should reach peak maturity between 4-22 years of age after the vintage.

Serving Chateau Moulin du Cadet, with Wine and Food Pairings

Chateau Moulin du Cadet is best served at 15.5 degrees Celsius, 60 degrees Fahrenheit. The cool, almost cellar temperature gives the wine more freshness and lift.

Chateau Moulin du Cadet is best paired with all types of classic meat dishes, veal, pork, beef, lamb, duck, game, roast chicken, roasted, braised, and grilled dishes. Chateau Moulin du Cadet is also good when matched with Asian dishes, rich fish courses like tuna, mushrooms, and pasta.
