Château du Moulin-à-Vent Couvent des Thorins Moulin-à-Vent 2020 750ml

Lots of ripe red fruit on the nose, from baked plum to chocolate cherry here. Spicy, too, with licorice and nutmeg coming through. Medium- to full-bodied, concentrated and structured, with bright acidity and fresh minerality matching the ripe fruit. Drink now. (James Suckling)

Generous and inviting, with plum, black cherry and red currant layered with black tea, wet earth and smoked incense. Warm spice notes add richness to the palate, which is streaked with violet and singed graphite, all reined in by slightly chewy tannins and tangy acidity. Drink now through 2027. 7,500 cases made, 1,500 cases imported. (Kristen Bieler)
