Tasting Notes | ||||
---|---|---|---|---|
Taut and structured, with iron and mineral notes leading the way for tobacco, olive and grilled herb flavors. Shows a core of black cherry fruit underneath, but the herb and olive component will likely hold the upper hand over time. Best from 2008 through 2016. 625 cases made. –JM Score: 91 Winespectator.com, Wine Spectator Maturity: 2008-2016 15 May 2007 |

The terroir-driven, muscular, dark, brooding 2004 Cote Rotie La Landonne reveals plenty of meat, tannin, smoke, and tart acids, a dark ruby/purple-tinged color, and a firm, structured mouthfeel. Structuralists will probably rate it considerably higher, but I remain concerned about the acids and tannin dominating the fruit as it evolves. It should last for 10-12 years.

Medium red. Intense, spicy red fruit aromas-especially raspberry-complicated by dried flowers and pungent herbs. Silky and suave, with sweet red berry flavors and the lightest hint of mocha. The youthfully taut, fresh finish shows a persistent raspberry tone. Score: 92 Stephen Tanzer, International Wine Cellar 02 February 2006 |
