E. Guigal, Côte-Rôtie, La Mouline--Vintage 1983
Rhône
Lot 939: slightly bin-soiled and slightly damaged labels. Levels at 3.5cms below base of corks. Lot 940: slightly bin-soiled and slightly damaged labels. Levels: nine at 2.5cms and three at 3.5cms below base of corks
Tasting note:
Still backward, but beginning to throw considerable sediment and reveal some amber at the edge, this wine reveals a distinctive, violet, cassis, bacon fat aroma intermixed with smoked duck and Asian spice components. Extremely full-bodied and sturdy, with noticeable tannin, this husky, powerful, concentrated La Mouline is less seductive than many vintages. In fact, in 1983, it behaves more like La Landonne. It can be drunk, but ideally it requires another 4-5 years of cellaring. Many 1983s have proven less exciting than initial predictions because of the refusal of the harsh tannins to melt away, but the tannin is clearly falling away in the 1983 La Mouline. There is still a wealth of fruit remaining. Anticipated maturity: now-2020. Last tasted 6/96. 100 points. Robert Parker, Rhone Book, January 1997
