Cote Rotie La Mouline Guigal 2021 (750ML)

93-95 Points, Nicolas Greinacher, Vinous: "The medium-bodied 2021 Côte-Rôtie La Mouline exhibits fragrant orange blossom, rose petal, violet and mocha paired with ripe red fruits. Blackberry traces add another layer. Albeit not sharing the same concentration and depth as the surrounding two vintages, the 2021 La Mouline is shaping up to be a remarkably refined iteration of this cuvée. It closes with persistence on the savory finale. (Drink between 2029-2041)" 03/24

93-95 Points, Jeb Dunnuck, JebDunnuck.com: "Blackberries, red and blue fruits, crushed flowers, and ground pepper all emerge from the La Mouline, which shows incredible elegance and purity, as well as depth. Based on 89% Syrah and 11% Viognier and aged 42 months in new French oak, it delivers medium to full-bodied richness, a layered, silky texture, and beautiful balance. The tannins are polished, and it has a gorgeous finish." 05/25

97 Points, James Suckling, JamesSuckling.com: "A fine-tuned, precise and layered La Mouline with aromas of red berries, warm herbs, dried spices and leather. A hint of fire pit, too. It's medium-bodied with ultra fine tannins. Pleasant harmony here, with a polished structure that drives the fruit and a lift of sweet spices and raw cocoa in the long finish. Drink or hold." 04/25
