2005 Ch. Moulin St. Georges, St Emilion

Owned by the Vauthier family of Ch. Ausone fame, this is just as jaw-dropping, in its own way, as its illustrious sibling. This is a proper St Emilion with the Ausone panache shining through. Made from 80% Merlot and 20% Cabernet Franc, it has a dark inky colour with a delicious Port-like nose of intense, rich, dark fruit. This is a sensuous wine with sweet, creamy forest fruits and earthy, floral and chocolate overtones. The tannins are big and ripe, completelely subsumed within the enormous fruit and long finish. Production is very limited here, with only 3000 cases made. Unmissable.

Very very dark, like its stablemate Fonbel (and Ausone of course). Very rich and opulent on the nose. Extremely intense. Like a scrubbing brush on the palate, it´s so concentrated. Lots of acidity and long but needs time.

The second most well-known estate of perfectionist proprietor Alain Vauthier (the best-known is Ausone), the inky/purple-tinged 2005 Moulin-St.-Georges offers sumptuously sweet aromas of candied cassis, crushed rocks, flowers, and incense. Intense, full-bodied, and deep, with fabulous purity, texture, and freshness as well as a 40+ second finish, this may be the finest Moulin-St.-Georges Vauthier has yet produced. Anticipated maturity: 2011-2025.

Deep, dark ruby in color. Superconcentrated aromas of crushed blackberry, black licorice, espresso and leather follow through to a full body, with ultrafine tannins and loads of coffee and fruit flavors. Very long. Best after 2016. 2,500 cases made.
