2010 Ch, Moulin Riche, St Julien

The 2009 made Moulin Riche’s new reputation; in my view, the  E0 is even better. The bouquet is confidently poised between adolescence and maturity; it contains the last of its primary blackcurrant fruit, with notes of tobacco and cedar beginning to insinuate. The palate is an object lesson in balance: mellow but still active tannins, creamy yet textured fruit and a cleansing finish. This is dead centre in its arc of maturity. It could be kept another five years but, with the elements so perfectly aligned, why would you wait? Drink now to 2026. - Mark Pardoe MW
