2010 Moulin Touchais
Rich, concentrated and viscous with fresh acidity enlivening the long, luscious finish.
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.
Deep brassy gold colour. Honeyed peach and marmalade aromas mix with some dried pineapple, subtle baked apple and spice notes. Rich, concentrated and viscous, the palate shows greater texture and intensity than the 2014, featuring mouth filling flavours of honeyed apple, marmalade, pineapple, toffee apple and spice. Fresh acidity enlivens what is otherwise a long, luscious finish.
Drink over the next 20-30 years.
