Côte-Rôtie, La Landonne--Vintage 1985
Rhône, Guigal
In original wooden case
Levels: 1.5cm or better; three nicked labels
"Once again the darkest, thickest, most powerful, and formidably concentrated of Guigal's single-vineyard Côte-Rôtie's, the 1985 La Landonne is also throwing a hefty sediment, with the inside of the bottle resembling that of a 15-year-old vintage port. The color is still a murky, inky purple. The nose offers up aromas of beef blood, vitamins (iron?), minerals, smoke, and truffles. Extremely thick, full-bodied, and massive, with noticeable tannin, this monster wine reveals no hard edges, but it does possess teeth-staining extract and power. It is a remarkable effort!" Robert Parker, Wines of the Rhône Valley, Second Edition, 1997
