1985 E. Guigal Côte-Rôtie La Mouline

1. The nose alone was 100 Pts. An endless array of earthy, spicy, floral, peppery, smoky scents with fresh, pure, ripe red cherries, black cherries, raspberry and bacon fat tossed in for good measure. In the mouth, there is an exotic texture that cannot be found in any other wine. The pure, sensuous, hedonistic, fresh mouth feel builds to a crescendo that lasts over sixty seconds. Few legendary wines live up their status. 1985 Guigal La Mouline not only lives up to its billing, it might even surpass it!

2. Stuffed with ripe and over ripe delicious, fat, sexy cherries and blackberries that slip, slide and glide over every inch, nook and cranny of your palate. The Cote Rotie wine offers intense purity with a lusty, luscious, sexy personality. Opulent and glycerin filled, this is pure hedonism. This will probably improve, but it’s so good now, if I had a bottle left in my cellar, it would be next to impossible to keep my hands off it.

3. How any Cote Rotie, not make that how can any wine be this good? Nosing this wine is akin to touring a perfume factory. But, the texture is best described as “Sex in your mouth!” This was so rich and decadent, it was almost surreal. The seamless finish lasted well over a minute. Truly, this bottle offered one of the finest tasting experiences I’ve ever had.

4. This has the density of the 1983 La Mouline coupled with the exotic quality of the 1982 La Mouline times two! Smoke, dark cherries, floral tones and wood take over your senses. I lost count of the lush layers of silky, dense, concentrated, exotic fruit that bathed my palate. The endless finish was absolutely seamless.
