A solid red with currants and toasted oak as well as smoke. Full and chewy with a long finish. A little rustic but I appreciate the concentration. jamessuckling.com

Juicy and vivid, with lots of raspberry, cassis and blackberry fruit woven with a perfumy black tea note. There's plenty of grip on the back end, but this is lush and has melded nicely already. James Molesworth, winespectator.com

Tasted at the chateau, the Moulin Riche is a blend of 59% Cabernet Sauvignon, 30% Merlot and 11% Petit Verdot and is showing a lot of oak on the nose with blackberry, a touch of fruitcake, graphite and tar. A hint of mocha emerges with time. The palate is medium-bodied with very fine tannins, very supple and rounded but counterbalanced with good acidity, leading to a silky smooth finish polished by judicious creamy oak. Very in keeping with Didier Cuvelier’s style. Very fine. Tasted March 2011. Neal Martin, erobertparker.com

Made by the Léoville Poyferré team, from separate plots to the west near Ch Talbot. Great balance and punch. Richness. Real length, excitement. Around €15. Could be a good buy. Just a little short on the end but very classic.jancisrobinson.com
