"The 2022 Moulin-à-Vent from Domaine Terres Dorées is quite low octane for this vintage, coming in at 12.5 percent alcohol. The bouquet is beautifully precise and transparent, wafting from the glass in a blend of sweet dark berries, red and black cherries, woodsmoke, gamebird, dark soil tones, fresh thyme and a touch of chicory in the upper register. On the palate the wine is deep, young, full-bodied and chewy, with a good core of black fruit, fine mineral transparency, firm tannins and a long, tangy and nascently complex finish. This has the concentrating effect to its tannins, acids and fruit that comes in drought vintages and consequently, it will need plenty of time in the cellar before it starts to stir. Once it is ready to drink, it should be a fine bottle, but it will never possess the mid-palate generosity of most vintages of this cuvée from Monsieur Brun. 2035- 2060+."
