Description

One bottle of this rare wine which otherwise currently seems to be available only in Japan. Also appears as Moulin Touchais-the two are the same.

A couple of Cellartracker notes:

“4/27/2015 - tendring Likes this wine: 92 Points
Moulin Touchais - Liquid Gold from the Loire (LSE): Burnt gold.
Oxidised nose, very mature, some fruit, marmalade.
Very marmalade in the mouth, great balance, lots of character, great fruity mid palate, very long.”

“6/27/2018 - VinoVeloVinyl wrote: 90 Points
Moulin Touchais: A retrospective tasing conducted by Frederik Wilbrenninck and Richard Kelley MW; 6/26/2018-6/27/2018 (The Institute of Masters of Wine, London SW11): Richard Kelley MW: 'This vintage was forgotten about then rediscovered in the cellar and released in 2013 as an anniversary wine. Not too shabby.'

In the umami zone – palo cortado - but skinnier and fresher. Some decent grilled peach and exotic fruit – pineapple and mango in the mix. The tightness of the acid is holding this together well. Would be fascinating to try this alongside a roast pork fillet stuffed with apricots.”

I bought this bottle from a local wine merchant more than 10 years ago and have cellared it properly since. The bottle on sale is the one in the photographs and is in decent condition for its age. There is some discoloration on the capsule as shown, a little scuffing on the main label and some cellar discolouration/spotting on the vintage label.

Shipping

In proper cushioned packaging designed for wine bottles, by Royal Mail tracked special delivery. The shipping cost quoted is for the UK only-if you wish to bid from outside the UK, please contact me first for a quote for the cost of shipping. Paypal payments will attract a 5% charge to leave me with the agreed auction price. Insurance is included in the price of this consignment on the terms offered by Royal Mail. I do not knowingly sell wine which is unfit for consumption, but this is a private not a trade sale, with no returns. Shipping will normally be the business day after payment clears; posting over weekends is best avoided. If buying more than one bottle I am happy to group to help on shipping costs.
