Score 92/100 · Drink 2021-2027, Josh Raynolds, Dec 2017

Bright violet. Powerful, intensely perfumed blackberry, cherry liqueur and licorice scents, along with hints of star anise and smoky minerals. Sweet, penetrating and energetic, offering sappy dark berry, floral pastille and succulent herb flavors that become livelier with aeration. Smoothly plays richness and power off finesse and finishes impressively long and sweet, with harmonious tannins coming in late.

Olivier Merlin rates his 2015 Moulin a Vent above his 2005 or 2009, although the crops were very low. It is whole-cluster style, Olivier preferring traditional Beaujolais winemaking. It has a very refined bouquet with black cherries, wild strawberry and subtle violet scents—just beautiful. The palate is surfeit with black cherries, white pepper and a slight flintiness on the structured finish. What a sublime Moulin à Vent from magic Merlin.
