Côte-Rôtie, La Landonne--Vintage 1999
Rhône. Domaine-bottled: E. Guigal
Tasting note: I have given perfect scores to other vintages of La Landonne, but the black/purple-colored 1999 Côte-Rôtie La Landonne may be the finest effort Guigal has ever coaxed out of this vineyard. It appears less animalistic than usual, offering gorgeously pure notes of incense, melted road tar, fried bacon, blackberries, blueberries, smoked meats, and vanilla. Literally out of this world in terms of flavor concentration and balance, the finish lasts well over 60 seconds. Anticipated maturity: 2007-2030. 100 points.
