Details

The E. Guigal 2012 Cote Rotie La Mouline presents itself with a visually striking ruby red color, accentuated by enchanting vermilion red reflections. On the nose, it is a symphony of small red fruits, intertwined with the allure of blackberries and delicate floral notes reminiscent of violets, creating a potent yet finely nuanced aromatic profile. As one takes the first sip, the wine offers a remarkably supple entry into the mouth, showcasing a harmonious dance between the finesse of its aromas and an explosive richness that arises from the sheer concentration of flavors. Overall, this is a wine with a distinctly feminine character, boasting a voluptuous texture that feels as silky as velvet, while delivering an intensity of aromas that lingers on the senses, making each sip a truly captivating experience.


Robert Parker - 97 Points

"The 2012 Côte Rôtie La Mouline reminds me of the 2011 with its upfront, incredibly perfumed nose of spring flowers, cured meats, roasted herbs, olives and sweet cassis fruit. Full-bodied, beautifully textured, mouth-filling and already impossible to resist, it expands on the palate and I guarantee this beauty will put a smile on your face anytime over the coming two decades."


Antonio Galloni - 94 Points

"Lurid ruby. Heady, intensely perfumed aromas of red fruit preserves, incense, smoky minerals and lavender, accompanied by an Asian spice flourish that builds as the wine opens up. Stains the palate with sweet, seamless raspberry liqueur, spicecake and floral pastille flavors that are lifted and given spine by core of juicy acidity. Puts on weight and spreads out slowly on the strikingly long and precise finish, which features resonating mineral and floral notes."
