2015 Côte Rôtie, La Landonne, Guigal

TASTING NOTES

"Impenetrably dense and dark...loaded with black olive, espresso and cassis fruit. It's full-bodied, rich and velvety in texture and nearly endless on the finish..." (100 points) Joe Czerwinski, Robert Parker's Wine Advocate, December 2019

Deep, bright-rimmed purple. An exotically perfumed, expressive bouquet evokes dark fruit liqueur, spicecake, smoky bacon, incense, vanilla and incense. A sexy floral nuance emerges with air and carries onto the palate, which displays intense blueberry, cherry liqueur, candied licorice and floral pastille flavors that deepen and spread out steadily on the back half. The floral, bacon and mineral notes come back strong on a strikingly long, youthfully tannic finish, that leaves a juicy blue fruit note behind. Josh Raynolds, Vinous.com

"Absolutely massive – so big it’s really difficult to see the flavour. It’s all muscle, no flesh at the moment." JancisRobinson.com
