E. Guigal La Landonne Côte Rôtie 2019

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. Drink date: 2025-2045. Score - 98-100.
