La Landonne 2016
CRITIC REVIEWS
Jeb Dunnuck
The 2016 Côte Rôtie La Landonne showed brilliantly, with the more fresh, classic, and elegant style of the vintage front and center. All Syrah aged four years in new French oak, it has a magical bouquet of blackcurrants, blackberries, smoked meat, roasted coffee, bacon fat, and graphite thats to die for. This carries over to the palate, and its medium to full-bodied, with a flawlessly balanced texture, ripe yet silky tannins, and the hallmark purity and freshness of the vintage. Its going to be relatively approachable (at least by this cuvées standards) in its youth and should be drinking nicely in 6-7 years, yet it has the class and balance to evolve for 30+ years.
Joe Czerwinski
The darkest, most concentrated and tannic of the 2016 La Las, the 2016 Cote Rotie La Landonne boasts hints of smoked meat and scorched coffee on the nose, waves of cassis fruit and hints of olives and herbs. Medium to full-bodied, this is packed with tannin, ripe fruit and intricate nuances of savory complexity. Rich and velvety, with terrific texture and impressive length, its a sure bet to evolve gracefully for the next 20-25 years.
