Interesting Information and Links
1971 Moulin Touchais:
Region Coteaux du Layon, Loire Valley France.
A wine that is still vibrant with youth, displaying remarkable freshness. Deep brassy gold colour with deep straw hue. Aroma of baked apple and spice followed by hints of confectionery. The wine expresses great concentration of flavours and mouth feel with very spicy characteristics. Flavours of honey, honeycomb, baked apple and lemon fill the palate. The acidity is fresh, holding the structure of this wine together superbly. Very long aftertaste of honeysuckle, honeycomb, lemon and toffee.
Cellar: 20+ years.
Alc/Vol: 13.5%
Rating: 98/100
