This is almost certainly the most famous Côte Rôtie from the best vineyard in the appellation. It is a wine for power. Dry fruits and tanninc aromas give an immediate sense of structure and strength. On the palate, it is wild, savage almost, with huge tannins and untamed exotic perfumes. The wood—42 months in new wood—seems almost incidental to the power of the fruit. The aging potential is obviously enormous.

Very oaky, but then, it's still very young, boasting sweet plum and licorice flavors that go on and on. Has the classic La Landonne tannic structure, and should be better in 1998.

Heat Tests Steep Slopes

Summer heat intensified concentration on La Landonne's iron-rich soils, while the steep terraced slopes provided crucial afternoon shade. The dark schist terroir and old-vine Syrah demonstrated remarkable resilience through the warm vintage. The wine reveals profound black fruits, smoky bacon, and ferrous minerals with the raw power distinctive to this northern Rhône site.
