2014: A blend of merlot, cabernet sauvignon and cabernet franc in Pomerol mimic, attractive and edgy when it wants or needs to be. Right Bank stylistic in any case, herbals and amaro welling through with liqueur consistency and fashion. Quite chic and notably concentrated for 2014, really credible, with brisk acidity and plenty of toughness keeping the wine safe, elongated and with portents of further potential. Quite a steal actually. Drink 2021-2024. Tasted November 2021.

2014: Maturing, classy and complex Bordeaux here, delivering far above its price category in terms of complexity, depth and overall refinement and polish. It's drinking very well at the moment, with grainy tannins lining up with succulent acids, notably absent the green character of many 2014 Bordeaux (especially at this price level). Really quite an excellent experience all in all. Drink or continue to hold into the mid-late-'20s. Tasted November 2021.

About the Winery
Château du Moulin Noir
This beautiful right-bank Bordeaux estate consistently produces high-value, elegant and classic Merlot dominant wines and is considered one of the most famous Château of this appellation. Located in Montagne-Saint-Emilion, Château Moulin Noir consists of seven hectares of vineyards on clay and limestone soils.
This château owes its name to a family feuddating back to the Middle Ages. Two brothers were arguing about their father’s legacy with the youngest brother being incredibly jealous that everything went to the elder. He was so jealous that he burnt the château to the ground - Moulin Noir translates to “blackened Mill”.

This great vintage continues to show-off. This very much alive, elegant and intense with well proportioned and integrated aromas of vibrant raspberry fruit, tobacco, cedar, graphite and some maturing earthiness. I like the energy and vibrancy, with firm tannin still, and excellent length. Tasted March 2023

Tasting this after the very mature 2012 makes this 2010 seem like a young pup in comparison. So youthful in fact there persists a spring in its step and freshness on the fruit dominant aromatics. No haste to the secondary here in fact that stage is barely upon this Lussac Saint-Émilion Right Bank wine. Five dollars cheaper as well so much more of a value and great deal for restaurant lists, but also those who are looking for immediate consumption in well-aged Bordeaux. This is where where you want it for either of those reasons. Some sweet and sour caramel and seasoned burnt ends are beefy and delicious at the finish. Drink 2023-2025. Tasted March 2023.

For this 2010 blend, grapes are sourced from a satellite region of Bordeaux known as Lussac-Saint-Emilion even though the estate is located in neighbouring Montagne-Saint Emilion. Lussac-Saint-Emilion is the northernmost of the satellites and is slightly higher and more hilly than the others. The name of the estate means "blackened mill", and is in reference to two feuding brothers of the Middle Ages one of which burned the Château to the ground. From an excellent vintage, this 13-year-old wine has held up remarkably well and is a delight to drink at present, salty and a touch ferrous with dried wild herbs, leather and macerated cherry on the palate. The tannins have been abated over time adding a velvety volume to the palate. Excellent length. Tasted April 2023.
