Château Moulin Saint-Georges

Composed of 80% Merlot and 20% Cabernet Franc, the 2017 Moulin Saint-Georges is medium to deep garnet-purple in color and slips easily out of the glass with lively scents if Morello cherries, mulberries and black raspberries plus hints of dark chocolate, camphor, tilled soil and truffles. Medium-bodied, the palate is lively and vivacious with plenty of spritely red and black berry flavors and a soft texture, finishing with lovely purity.

Tasted blind. Mid ruby colour. Powerful aromatics. Cedar, savoury spices and ripe red fruit. The palate is refined, with fairly silky tannins and charming, cool red fruit. Slick. A little bite from more austere tannin and acids on the back end, but this retains good balance through to a cool, lightly spiced finish.

Extremely perfumed and beautiful with cherries and flowers. Hints of light chocolate. Medium to full body, firm tannins and a tangy, acidity-driven finish. Lots of tension. Exciting. Drink after 2022.
