2005 Chateau Moulin Pey-Labrie, Canon-Fronsac 1x75cl

Vinous 88-90

Good deep color. Flamboyant, slightly wild aromas of kirsch, mint, minerals, flowers and iron. Moderately concentrated and rich, with chewy black fruit and mint flavors along with hints of leather, game and band-aid. Somewhat tough tannins suggest energetic extraction but the wine avoids dryness. [Stephen Tanzer, 05/01/2006]

A sleeper. [Robert M. Parker, Jr., 30/04/2007]

Especially deep crimson. Very full and ripe on the nose – then good freshness but slightly uncomfortable acidity and dryness. Just a little over-extracted? A feral note. This seems to be trying to head east rather than stay firmly in Fronsac… [19/04/2006]
