The 2004 Cote Rotie La Mouline displays soft notes of caramel, cola, bacon fat, litchi nuts, and honeysuckle along with the cassis and sweet cherry fruit. It is actually one of the most seductive and luscious of La Moulines to drink, and should probably be consumed in its first 10-12 years of life.

The seductive 2004 Cote Rotie La Mouline (11% Viognier is included in the blend) is soft, exotic, fragrant, and flamboyant. It possesses abundant amounts of Asian spice, black currant, raspberry, and smoky bacon-like notes. It should drink well during its first 10-12 years of life.

Bright red. Exotic bouquet of red berries, cherry, minerals and baking spices. Silky and sweet, offering fresh raspberry and cherry-cola flavors, suave tannins and gentle violet pastille and graphite qualities. Very elegant and impressively understated, with enticing juiciness on the finish. "This wants to be Burgundy," noted Guigal. International Wine Cellar 94-95
