Château Moulin Saint-Georges 2023

Tasting Notes

As ever a lovely wine, even in this challenging vintage, with black cherry and wet stone. This has a certain austerity on the palate but with reasurring and pleasingly cool peppermint chocolate and seashell freshness. Some toasty notes from the oak complement obstruct the fruit a touch - the wine ages in 100% new oak. From a west-facing limestone hillside, near the southern entrance to St-Emilion, the soils of clay and limestone worked well for a solid 3.65pH to balance the alcohol. Potential for a higher score, but being careful here. Drinking window: 2028-2043. (Panos Kakaviatos,decanter.com)
