Chateau Moulin Haut Laroque 2018

- 18 Punkte Rene Gabriels BORDEAUX TOTAL, Andre Kunz: "Kunz Fassprobe 19: Dichtes, samtenes, elegantes, frisches Bouquet, Erdbeergelee, Pralinen, fein Haselnusscreme, Minze, Tabak. Dichtverwobener, vielschichtiger, eleganter, duftiger Gaumen mit vielfältiger, kräftiger Aromatik, fein cremiger Struktur, viel feinem Tannin, samtener Frucht, langer, frischer Abgang."

- 92 Punkte JAMES SUCKLING: "Red-fruit aromas, as well as mushrooms and minerals. It is medium-to full-bodied with a silky texture, elegant tannins and a savory finish. Medium length. Try after 2023.“

- 92 Punkte FALSTAFF, Peter Moser: "Tiefdunkles Rubingranat, opaker Kern, violette Reflexe, zarte Randaufhellung. Zarte Kräuterwürze, ein Hauch von Nougat, reife Pflaumenfrucht. Komplex, stoffig, angenehme Würze, reife integrierte Tannine, gute Frische, reife Brombeeren im Abgang, ein saftiger Speisenbegleiter mit Potenzial."

- 91 Punkte VINOUS, Antonio Galloni: "The 2018 Moulin Haut-Laroque is gorgeous. Succulent dark cherry, plum, chocolate, spice, new leather and licorice all meld together in the glass. The forward, juicy style is immensely appealing. This is so well done. 2022-2030“

- 90 Punkte JEB DUNNUCK: "The 2018 Château Moulin Haut-Laroque showed beautifully and is well worth seeking out. Loads of cassis and black raspberry fruits as well as licorice, toasted spices, and truffle notes emerge from the glass, and it's medium-bodied, with a ripe, layered texture and impressive tannins. It's going to drink nicely for 10-12 years, and there's no real reason to hold off either. 2021-2033“

- 90-92 Punkte Robert Parkers WINE ADVOCATE, Lisa Perrotti-Brown: "Deep purple-black colored, the 2018 Moulin Haut-Laroque bursts from the glass with seductive blackberry pie, Black Forest cake and preserved plums plus hints of violets, cigar box and chargrill. Full-bodied, concentrated and packed with black fruit layers, it has a firm, velvety texture and seamless freshness, finishing fragrant."

- 16,5 Punkte JANCIS ROBINSON, Julia Harding: "65% Merlot, 20% Cabernet Franc, 10% Cabernet Sauvignon, 5% Malbec. pH 3.6. Barrel sample. 
Intense purple to the point of being black. Intense black fruit, both charry and full of cassis. Spice and dark chocolate. Incredibly concentrated and powerful with a bit of heat. So concentrated it is hard to taste but the fruit is all there. Their 5% Malbec helped keep the pH down a little, apparently. Thick but very smooth tannins. Well rounded, but take small sips – it is almost too concentrated."
