ash and citrus until one finds oneself cancelling the Spring ferry to Islay

compact and heady with the notes of a dry vintage: sage

2018 Côte-Rôtie, La Landonne, E. Guigal, Rhône Chilled ash and citrus until oneThe 2018 Cte Rtie La Landonne is a different beast, as always. Inky black hued, with a monster of a nose revealing tons of smoked black fruits, cured meats, tobacco, ground pepper, and graphite. It has an almost Pauillac like profile and is full bodied, deep, and concentrated on the palate, with building tannins, flawless balance, and a huge finish. Pure raw power, this needs at least a decade of bottle age and will be one of the longest lived wines
