Moulis-en-Médoc

Full

Cork

One of the oldest estates in the Médoc with 33 hectares on clay-limestone soils. This is made up of 80% Merlot and 20% Cabernet Sauvignon and is juicy and alive in the glass. Instantly mouthwatering with a lovely vibrancy to the blackcurrant, plum and high-toned strawberry fruit. High acidity carries the initial burst of energy until the fine tannins make way for a mineral, salty, wet stone undertone which settles on the tongue. Sleek and focussed, this has nice persistence from start to finish and is on the slightly lighter, more delicate side for the vintage. Unfussy, clean and pure. A nice, easy drinking glass with terroir typicity. Nuanced and enjoyable with lingering spice, liquorice and flint on the chalky finish.
