Details
Côte-Rôtie, La Mouline--Vintage 1976
Rhône, E. Guigal
Levels: eleven 2cm or better and one 3cm; slight signs of seepage, one torn vintage label
"The 1976 is even thicker, richer, and more jammy than some of the other great vintages of La Mouline. In essence, it is something between a dry red table wine and a vintage port. Of course it is not sweet, but it is so concentrated; one simply does not see wines such as this except for 1947 Pétrus or 1947 Cheval Blanc. The wine has thrown a couple of ounces of sediment. It offers a heavenly bouquet of sweet, floral-infused black-raspberry/cassis fruit. Extremely unctuous and viscous, with mind-boggling concentration, this wine has always been exceptional to drink, but it continues to defy the aging curve. I have drunk my last bottle, so I am dependent on friends for future tastings. This is one of the legendary wines of the century! Anticipated maturity: now-2007." Robert Parker, Rhone Book (January 1997)
