Tasting Notes

The 2000 Cote Rotie la Mouline is an open, evolved and semi-mature example of this cuvee that has classic aromatics, full-bodied richness and no hard edges on the palate. Drinking beautifully now, with a ripe, open style, I'd plan on opening bottles over the coming decade, although I suspect it will last longer.

The 2000 Cote Rotie La Mouline, while lighter than the previous three vintages, possesses a deep ruby color in addition to a sweet perfume of white flowers, licorice, caramel, black raspberries, and currants. It is a medium-bodied, compactly built La Mouline with good fruit, low acidity, and an up-front, forward charm. It should drink well for 8-12 years.
