Details
Côte-Rôtie, La Landonne--Vintage 1978
Rhône. Domaine-bottled: E. Guigal
Bin-soiled and damaged, damp-affected labels. Levels: six 1cm, one 1.5cms below base of corks
Tasting note: The debut vintage for La Landonne, this formidably endowed, inky-coloured monster is just beginning to open up and reveal its personality. As with La Mouline, there is an ounce of sediment in the bottom of the bottle. The colour is a thick purple/black/garnet. The nose reveals a smoked meat, grilled steak, earthy, truffle, black-fruit character intermixed with mineral notes. Extremely powerful, rich, slightly tannic flavours have enormous volume in the mouth. The wine still displays a rustic side to its tannin, but there is no doubting the excessively concentrated, prodigious amount of fruit, extract, glycerin, and character possessed by this wine. Anticipated maturity: 1998-2020. Robert Parker, The Rhone Book (1997)
