Côte-Rôtie, La Landonne--Vintage 1982
Rhône. Domaine-bottled: E. Guigal
Corroded capsules. Very bin-soiled labels. Very good level
Tasting Note: For such a precocious vintage, the 1982 La Landonne remains a backward, beefy, smoky, chewy mouthful of tannic wine. It has thrown a huge amount of sediment, and the bottle is completely stained, as if it were a 15-year-old vintage port. The wine reveals an olive, earthy, licorice, mineral, smoked-meat nose, fabulous depth, and a huge, formidably endowed personality. It is a monstrous, super concentrated wine that should reach its apogee by the turn of the century. Robert Parker, Rhone Book # B3 (Jan 1997)
