Ok... Wine #11

Since I won't have time in the next few weeks to log on everyday or even every other day, I'm starting now...

#11 - 1990 Guigal Cote-Rotie "La Mouline", Northern Rhone Valley - tasted from 2 different bottles, one a week after the other. This wine is pure earth - this is what La Mouline is. 89% Syrah, 11% Viognier (that's the planting breakdown from the avg. 60 year old vines in the 1 hectare vineyard.) Lots of raspberries and a wonderful softness to this wine that the other La La's don't have. Very worthy of being in this spot.
