2007 Moulin Touchais

The wines of Moulin Touchais begin reaching their peak after twenty years, and many of the great vintages will take much longer. Vintages such as the 1953, 1959, 1964, 1969 are still maturing. The 1945, 1947 and 1949 have become classics. Moulin Touchais are the only winemakers in the world who give a century long guarantee on the longevity of their wines (subject to being kept under optimal cellar conditions). Bottles may show some sediment or deposit. One should understand this is due to the traditional filtration process, the main aim being to protect the colour, the bouquet and the depth of flavour of the wine.

Bright golden colour with brassy gold edges and a very pale gold hue. Pronounced brown pear, honeyed quince and toffee apple scents mix with hints of butterscotch, cinnamon and raisins. Broader and showing more viscosity the 2005 vintage, the palate is fat in juicy in texture but not cloying, delivering an intense flavour profile of ripe pears, honeyed characters and baked apple that sit over a back drop of quince, subtle notions of marmalade and spice. Round, luscious finish with a long honeyed drenched aftertaste of pear, baked apple and quince.
Drink over the next 10-15 years.
Alc. 13%

Other Reviews....
Unctuous, with sweet corn, saffron and raisin notes, while a second layer offers more exotic guava and mango fruit. This opens up with some air and delivers even more complexity. Pretty vibrant and graceful, showing good definition, range and balance. Drink now through 2037
