Wine By Bok - 10/10 stars
Amongst
a crazy lineup tonight with wines like Cheval Blanc Saint Emilion 82,
Soldera 82 & 86, Ridge Montebello 89, Sassicaia 88 and a few others,
this La Mouline 89 won hands down indisputed as the Wine of the Night! From
the nose to the content, it’s all about ultra elegance. Ripe cherries
on the nose coupled with elegant fruits. Content was ripe cherries, even
the cherries possessed the elegance! Ultra elegance throughout the body
of the content. Easily my top 5 wines this year! (11/2018)
Robert Parker's Wine Advocate - 98 points
The saturated purple-colored 1989 La Mouline is an explosively rich wine, with its profound perfume of violets, black raspberries, and creamy, toasty new oak. Very full-bodied, with a dreamy opulence, gobs of fruit, an unctuous texture, and powerful finish, this wine manages to balance intensity with great elegance. (12/1996)
