Château du Moulin-à-Vent, Moulin-à-Vent – 2011 – 90-91 points – The Wine Advocate

“Raised in older barriques as well as tank and sourced primarily from the Les Caves, La Roche and Le Moulin-a-Vent lieux-dits, Chateau du Moulin-a-Vent’s ‘grand vin’ 2011 Moulin-a-Vent – which I last tasted from tank soon after its assemblage and just ahead of its end-of-year bottling – features richly ripe black raspberry with distilled framboise and holly berry overtones. A bite of black pepper and clove adds to the piquancy on a firm palate and reinforces the spicy influence of toasty (albeit here previously used) barrels… this undeniably musters more sheer intensity and persistence, its juiciness outlasting any oak influence.”
