Scheduled to be bottled in January or February of 2018, the 2014 Côte Rôtie La Mouline is a forward, perfumed version of this cuvée that has lovely black cherry fruit, lots of spice box, dried flowers, and bacon fat aromatics. With medium to full body and an elegant, silky style that just begs to be drunk, it’s going to be the most approachable of the three single vineyard Côte Rôties yet will keep for 15+ years.
Still aging in barrel, the 2014 Cote Rotie La Mouline is really charming, sexy stuff. Soaring florals emerge from the glass, accompanied by notes of dark fruit, espresso and grilled meat. Silky and seductive, it should drink well young yet be capable of developing for 20 years. Drink 2020-2035.
The 2014 Cote Rotie la Mouline has more smoked meats and spice, and is distinctly different from the tight, backwards and structured 2013. Black raspberries, dried licorice, spice and crushed flowers, as well as a kiss of vanilla all emerge from this full-bodied, pure, polished Cote Rotie. It has beautiful ripeness and polish to its tannin, as well as an overriding sense of elegance. Philippe commented that it’s classic La Mouline and a classic Cote Blonde.
