"The 1959 vintage has always been one of my reference point years of Moulin Touchais and this most recent bottle was breathtaking. The nose jumps from the glass in a deep and à point blaze of tangerine, apricot, sweet quince, a lovely dollop of soil, buttered pecans, honey and citrus peel in the upper register. On the palate the wine is pure, full-bodied, complex and still very vibrant, with laser-like focus, zesty acids and superb balance and grip on the complex and very long finish. This is one of the finest vintages of Moulin Touchais I have had the pleasure to taste and the wine continues to drink at its absolute zenith at age fifty-six- with no signs of slowing down for decades to come! Great juice."
