SINGLE-VINEYARD COTE-ROTIES FROM GUIGAL OF THE GREAT 2003 VINTAGE
Lying in Twickenham, Middlesex (EHD)
Offered in original wooden cases
Côte-Rôtie, La Landonne--Vintage 2003
Rhône. Domaine-bottled: E. Guigal
Tasting note: Dense purple to the rim with a nose of graphite, creosote, earth, olives, and black, black, black fruits, the primordial, full-bodied, monumental 2003 Côte Rôtie La Landonne is amazing stuff. I suspect this is more akin to a dry vintage port than most Côte Rôties ever tend to be, but the purity, the richness, the texture, the length are all out of this world. This wine does need some patience on the part of its purchasers, probably five years, more likely 8-10, but then one of the worlds most compelling elixirs will be at its peak for another 20-30+ years.
