Great video!!!

Thanks for sharing your insights Erin. I've only been fortunate enough to taste 2 LaLa wines, one of them was a 2010 La Turque funnily Rick Kinzbrunner brought to a dinner party because I'd never tasted one. I had such high expectations for the wine, but we actually found it was showing pre-mature ageing, I seriously thought it was from the 90's - perhaps an isolated bottle though, which happens. I've found in the Northern Rhône some of the producers have come back to talking about drinking their Syrah younger, say from the 3-7 year drinking window, to continue to dance with the primary fruit on offer. Appreciated the descriptors on the iodine, meaty spectrum - it just makes sense and takes one straight to the region. The violets often discussed literally sprout in people's gardens in the local area for 2 weeks in Spring. What a privilege to taste these wines, if you haven't been, I hope you get to visit sometime, no doubt you will and you'll be very warmly welcomed.

Fantastic set of wines - keep up the content :)

That's an epic tasting!

As always yet another interesting informative video...I will be honest however and say this ..with respect of course ..Wow you are such a class act..I could listen to you talk about anything..lol..You are so good at what you do..amazing English...incredible

Very informative video as always Erin and great to see you discuss some old world wines for a change of pace.

Another great review Erin!! Thank you. Every wine lover must try a La La at least once in their life. Their Chat Ampuis a relative bargain in Cote Rotie, even world wine terms. Keep it up, loving it.....

Another great video Erin, now I need ti see where I can get these!

I just purchased a bottle of 'la mouline 2014' last month, not opened it yet, so appreciate getting the knowledge & comparison of the lineup. As Shiraz is the iconic varietal of Australian red, it would be nice to compare these bottles from the best appellation in France for Syrah to some top quality Australian Shiraz.

😊👍👍👍

Thanks for the insight Erin. Never tried them but you’ve got me very interested now. Have you had them beside any Australian wines?

Imagine drinking these La La's, with Erin

@Erin not sure it's a fair question but how do you think wines like these compare to something like Standish Relic?

It is interesting that La Doriane is a ripe/high alcohol wine. Australian viognier producers have been tending toward less ripeness in their styles. Yalumba in particular have gone from 14-14.5% to 13-13.5% alcohol in the Virgilius. Personally I like a ripe, full flavoured viognier (but it seems most don't like viognier at all)

Indeed, drinking the La-La's less than 20 years old is just wrong ! :)

Caution - la Doriane is different, don't age over 5-7 years, and it so peculiar it's best with food, not a wine to drink alone.. the rest of the la la las sure, age 20y if you want
