E. Guigal La Landonne Côte-Rotie Syrah 1998
The 1998 Cote Rotie La Landonne is a perfect wine ... at least for my palate. Its saturated black/purple color is accompanied by an extraordinary nose of smoke, incense, tapenade, creosote, blackberry, and currant aromas. It is densely packed with blackberry, truffle, chocolate, and leather-like flavors. The wine possesses high tannin, but perfect harmony, impeccable balance, and gorgeous integration of acidity, alcohol, and tannin. It is a tour de force in winemaking. Anticipated maturity: 2007-2025. Robert Parker

Remarkable. Juicy and so dense but my goodness this is so elegant. It’s amazing how light on its feet the wine is for such a big boy. Genius.

A little thicker than the others but oak beautifully in place. Layers of ripe, delicious dark fruit with a high note streak of viognier, green pepper and bloodiness. Plummy, sexy and gorgeous
