Moulin Saint Georges 2009

The freshness of the red fruits gives an attractive brightness to the nose with the ripeness of both tannins and fruit enriching the mid palate. Towards the back the freshness of raspberry balances the sweetness giving the finish an appealing freshness. Drink 2015-2030.

Incredibly deep, teeth-staining colour, with lashings of oak and fruit to match, but this is a St Emilion that manages to be elegant despite its power and concentration. The perfume is a violet-scented delight, the tannins are well integrated, the oak is deftly handled and the fruit combines notes of redcurrant, cassis and blackberry with a touch of green pepper. 15+ years.

A real explosion of fruit on the nose and palate - raspberry, cherry. Almost fruit liqueur. Smooth, creamy palate with length and freshness on the finish. Drink 2016-2030.

Consistently a good value pick among shrewd consumers, this wine, from one of the estates Alain Vauthier owns in St.-Emilion beside the famous Ausone, has a dark purple color, a big, sweet kiss of black currants, raspberries, crushed rock, and floral notes. It is medium to full-bodied, displays good, sweet tannin, and comes across as slightly unevolved and may have just finished malolactic fermentation. I am not so sure it is as strong as his 2005, but this wine is very promising nevertheless. (Tasted once.)
