Note di degustazione
The 2018 Moulin du Cadet is a wine that I underestimated from barrel. It has a tightly packed nose of blackberry and bilberry fruit, missing a little amplitude, perhaps, though it is nicely focused. The palate is medium-bodied with supple tannins and a fine bead of acidity. Very pure in style, and there are absolutely no rough edges here. Almost citrus-fresh toward the finish, with veins of blood orange on the aftertaste. Very fine.

Rocking amounts of red and black currants, chalky minerality, violets, camphor, new leather, and violets emerge from the 2018 Château Moulin Du Cadet, a rich, medium to full-bodied, concentrated, beautifully balanced Saint-Emilion. With ripe tannins, plenty of mid-palate depth, and a great finish, this is another remarkable wine from the Lefévère family that's well worth snatching up. The wine is 100% Merlot brought up in 80% new French oak. It's going to benefit from 4-5 years of bottle age and will keep for 15+.
The 2018 Moulin du Cadet is just as impressive from bottle as it was from barrel. Inky dark cherry, plum, mocha, spice, licorice and chocolate all build effortlessly. Sumptuous and inviting, Moulin du Cadet hits all the right notes. I would give the tannins a few years to settle down. The 2018 is a Saint-Émilion of real substance and character.
