What the critics say
100 WAWine Advocate, Robert Parker, 01-01-1997
One of the all-time great La Moulines, this still youthful and unevolved wine does not have the tannic ferocity of the 1988, or the sheer force and intensity of the 1978, 1976, and 1969, but it represents the epitome of this single-vineyard wine. Everything fits perfectly in this full-bodied, black/purple-colored wine that reveals no garnet or amber at the edge of its color. The nose offers up a formidable array of overripe black raspberries and cherries intertwined with scents of cedar, chocolate, olives, and toast. Extremely full-bodied, with an unctuosity and opulence that must be tasted to be believed, this velvety-textured wine's finish lasts for over a minute. It is one of the most concentrated but profoundly endowed and well-balanced wines I have ever tasted. Like so many of the wines Guigal has produced from this vineyard, no matter how hard one tries to articulate its glories, words are simply inadequate. The 1985 is just beginning to achieve full maturity, where it should remain for another 15 + years. Anticipated maturity: now-2012. Last tasted 8/96.

The 1985 Côte-Rôtie La Mouline has a refined cranberry and raspberry nose with truffles and clove, gaining delineation all the time and outclassing the 1990 La Turque served blind alongside. The palate is ripe on the entry with saturated tannins and layers of opulent black fruit. There is perhaps just a bit of warmth, yet the ‘85 has a gorgeously savoury, dried-blood-tinged finish that is captivating. At 40 years old, who says it does not have another four decades of pleasure to give?
