Wine of the Week 1991 Guigal La Mouline

Asia is terrific. I love people, culture and the food. We were in Hong Kong yesterday, where we spent 4 days in the city. Our evening was spent 102 floors above the neon lit skyline, towering over the city. From that vantage point, the vista across the water, the skyscrapers with light that would make Las Vegas seem dull, the mood was set. This vacation is the first time my girlfriend and I have traveled together. As most of you know, there is not any equalizer like the mix of tension, excitement and experience that accompanies traveling to help determine if you’re a fantastic match, or not.

I am writing this article while vacationing in Tokyo. It is too early to leave the room, even though a hasty exit is demanded by its size. So, I’m using this downtime to speak about not only the incredible bottle of 1991 Guigal La Mouline, but why it’s always going to stay a wine for me.

1991 Guigal La Mouline is drinking today. Straight from the bottle, the opulent, exoticly styed wine that is textured that is decadently screams scents of wild cherry meat, blossoms, spice and earth. There is intensity here, with purity, freshness and concentration of fruit. It is only going to get better from here as good as it is now! 100 Pts
After togetherness, things were heading in the right direction. It was the perfect time to pop the question, or the cork. The cork was chosen by me. The bottle was important since the wine shared with her son. It’s a good thing he wasn’t born only a few months later.

I love pairing wines with Asian cuisine. The freshness, purity of fruit and textures found in the wines I prefer, actually add to the meals. And let’s face it. But as each adds to the complexities of another food and wine were supposed to go together.
Now, while I realize this is a wine that is expensive, and rare, this specific bottle has significance. Pleasure is offered by all wines and they make a fantastic accompaniment. As they were about the wine but for my way of thinking, the bottles that stand out, allowing us to keep the experience of enjoying them were about the people we shared the bottles with.

Now, Cathy is new to wine. Her lexicon isn’t there, but she’s an instinctively good palate. What’s more, she maintains the desire to discover, learn, taste, discuss and enjoy the wines we discuss. From the first sniff, swirl and sip, Cathy remarked this bottle was like no other wine she’d ever tasted. The texture was surreal. The perfume was intoxicating and changes the wine experienced in the glass throughout our meal’s abundance seemed endless. She understood what this wine was all about. I couldn’t have said it better myself.
