Note di degustazione
Garnet core. More evolved in aroma than the Clos du Marquis just tasted but still with dark fruit and a touch minty. Juicy and lighter-bodied, just enough depth of fruit to balance the acidity. Tannins still firm. (JH)

The 2014 Moulin-Riche has simple red berry fruit mixed with cedar and earthy notes. The palate is medium-bodied with sappy red fruit, light tannin with a dry and rather innocuous finish that does not really take you anywhere. It just feels rather ordinary. Tasted blind at the annual Southwold tasting.
Tasted blind. A little sweet, muted and sweaty but certainly pleasing and easy. No rough edges. Quite flattering. (JR)
The 2014 Moulin Riche is a very pretty wine from the sister estate of the Cuvelier family, who also own Leoville-Poyferre. Medium in body, with good underlying structure, the 2014 offers notable complexity and nuance. Smoke, tobacco, licorice and a host of dark-fleshed fruit notes confer a measure of gravitas. The blend is 53 % Cabernet Sauvignon, 27 % Merlot and 20 % Petit Verdot.
Informazioni sul produttore
Ch. Léoville-Poyferré is a Second Growth Saint-Julien property that was once part of the same estate as Ch. Léoville Barton and Ch. Léoville Las Cases. It has the most complex and varied soils of the three and produces the most voluptuous, seductive style of wine.
