According to Robert Parker's Wine Advocate: "Labruyere’s 2009 Moulin-a-Vent – corresponding to the blend they referred to, but then did not label as “grande cuvee” in vintage 2008; bottled in December, 2010; and weighing in just shy of 14% alcohol – mingles concentrated aromas and flavors of lightly-cooked blackberry and cassis with those of bacon and beef marrow. This has maintained an admirable sense of juiciness for its vintage, although there is a bit of tannic chew, which along with toasty notes from barrel detracts a tad from the finishing display of this bottling’s virtues. Proprietor Edouard Labruyere and oenologist Nadine Gublin have given their 2009s the extended elevage they promised will be routine here, the Grande Cuvee having been bottled in December of last year and the Clos only this April. Possibly this long elevage – along with adept blending – is what has tamed the impressions engendered by their 2009s’ high alcohol when they were tasted from cask in June 2010." (08/11)
