La Landonne 2019 (75 CL)

The impenetrably dark 2019 Cote Rotie La Landonne represents the essence of this fabled lieu-dit. combining peppery. herbal notions with espresso and roasted meat. all carried by ample plum and black cherry fruit. It's full-bodied. concentrated. richly tannic and long on the finish—simply a superb wine that should be flirting with perfection when it is released in a couple of years. (JC. 2/2022)
