Revealing more structure and definition than the regular bottling, the 2003 Cote Rotie La Landonne offers more scorched earth, camphor, blackberry, and roasted meat characteristics. Last year this cuvee displayed no acidity, but that is not the case from bottle (perhaps the use of 50% stems helped). Rostaing admits that analytically, there is practically no acid in this wine, so it will age on its extraordinary extract and richness. This blockbuster should drink well young, yet age for 12-15 years. Score: 97 Robert Parker, Wine Advocate Maturity: 2006-2021 |

Silky and long, with very dark cherry, cocoa and game flavors backed by mineral and grilled herb notes. Tight now, with firm cocoa powder and tar notes guarding the finish, but has depth and complexity for the longer haul. Best from 2007 through 2020. 315 cases made. Score: 95 James Molesworth, Wine Spectator Maturity: 2007-2020 |

NB older vintage. Looks quite youthfully blue. Rostaing detests this vintage, he says several times! Rich and bloody and not very readable. All heat and density. Some rhubarb stewed-fruit aroma. Fossilised. It doesn't seem that old, but there isn't that much evolution either. Score: 16 - 17 Jancis Robinson MW, Jancisrobinson.com Maturity: 2008-2014 |
