As to three single parcel releases, I reviewed the 2010 Cote Rotie La Mouline earlier this year, but was more than happy to taste it again (lucky me) for this report. Incorporating a full 11% of Viognier and coming from the steep, terraced vines in the Cote Blonde lieu-dit, it sports a heavenly bouquet of spring flowers, incense, violets, cured meats and sweet cassis. Full-bodied, voluptuous and as seamless as they come, Syrah just doesn’t get any more alluring, sexy or impressive. Give it 5-6 years and drink bottles over the following 2 decades or more.

2010 年的 Cote Rotie La Mouline 風(fēng)格與以往的酒不大相同， 蘊(yùn)含著深濃的黑色水果、森林植被、荔枝核、覆盆子、黑醋栗、甜櫻桃、樟腦、木炭、新橡木的風(fēng)味。該酒酒體豐滿，比 2009 年的同款酒含有更顯著的酸味和單寧，酒的品質(zhì)可以維持 25 至 30 年（甚至更久）。
