151 Guigal La Mouline 1990 Northern Rhone u: 1cm, light bin soil “Deep garnet-brick in colour, the 1990 La Mouline presents earthy /meaty aromas over an undercurrent of leather, sandalwood, dried plums, anise and dried mint. Elegantly constructed in the mouth with silky tannins and gently refreshing acid, the flesh is rich and opulent offering mouth-filling dried berry, meat and spice flavours that linger with great persistence.” L. Perrotti-Brown for TWA, 99 pts. 09/12 2 bottles $900-1,200 152 Guigal La Mouline 1991 Northern Rhone u: 0.5cm “The black/purple-colored 1991 La Mouline appears to be a perfect wine in the making, with a staggering bouquet of violets, bacon fat, sweet cassis fruit, and toasty oak. The wine exhibits superb density. It is tasting even richer and more concentrated than it did during its first several years of life. With 8% Viognier in the blend and made from extremely low yields (only 400 cases produced), it is a phenomenal wine. I find it more seductive than the nearly perfect 1990.” R. Parker for TWA, 100 pts. 01/97 1 bottle $450-600 153 Guigal La Mouline 1997 Northern Rhone u: one 0.0cm, two 0.5cm, slight scuffs and one tear to corner of label R.

154 Guigal La Mouline 1998 Northern Rhone “The awesome 1998 Cote Rotie La Mouline is a seamless, full-bodied classic with many characteristics of the 1997 La Landonne, but more structure, tannin, and muscle. It will need two years of cellaring, and will last for twenty years. Stylistically, it is reminiscent of the 1988.” R. Parker for TWA, 97 pts. 04/02 5 bottles $2,250-3,250 155 Guigal La Mouline 2000 Northern Rhone J. Dunnuck for TWA, 96 pts. 08/14 2 bottles $300-400

It exhibits exceptional concentration and is velvety and concentrated. The fabulous 1995 La Turque is a virtually perfect wine with flamboyance, harmony, and remarkable opulence and length. It should drink well when released, and last for two decades.” R.

Parker for TWA, 96 pts. 04/02 2 bottles $450-600 160 Guigal La Turque 1998 Northern Rhone “The 1998 Cote Rotie La Turque may end up being a perfect wine. Its smoky black fruits intermixed with licorice, roasted meats, cassis, and flowers create an explosive, exotic perfume. The wine reveals considerable tannin, immense structure, and potentially legendary depth as well as intensity.” R. Parker for TWA, 98 pts. 04/02 5 bottles $1,200-1,700
