Guigal La Landonne, 2001 New Bright ruby red in colour"Utter perfection, the 2005 Cote Rotie La Landonne exhibits a similar scorched earth burning ember and bacon fat scented nose as well as copious quantities of black fruits, truffles, and forest floor. Incredibly dense and masculine with unreal levels of concentration, and beautifully integrated tannin, acidity, and oak, this remarkable 2005 may turn out to be the longest lived La Landonne since the debut vintage of 1978 (which is still going strong).
