1999 E. Guigal Cote Rotie La Mouline

My previous bottle I reported in 2017 was bad, but tonight I had a redemption, this bottle was singing! Although I still don’t agree with Parker this deserved 100 points! Nose was hedonistic and supremely elegant. Perhaps still young, it was elegant and mellow but a bit rough and inky, with some spice lurking around. Best amongst all the Guigal staple.
我17年报告过一瓶坏了的酒，但是今晚绝对赎回过去的失落，这瓶状态非常棒！虽然我还是跟派克的意见不协调，我很肯定这瓶不值得100分。鼻香很完美而且非常吸引人。这瓶肯定还很年轻，不过稳重成熟而且柔顺，虽然内容有点粗和感觉濹水的口感，但是这是年轻的代表。慕琳尼肯定是吉家乐最好的！

It was one of the highly decorated and highly sort after wine. Parker rated it 100 points. Sadly, I screamed swimming pool chlorine on my first nose of the glass, obviously it was corked.
Thus, all notes were irrelevant for now although it did recover after a couple of hours later. Initially very sour, even though it was still drinking ok. I left it in the glass to observe, surprisingly strong oaks showed up, great oak palate. Thereafter I learned that La Moulin was aged in the oak for 42 mths.
