E. GUIGAL CÔTE-RÔTIE LA LANDONNE 1997

Rhône.
3 x scraped & stained labels

The nearly perfect 1997 Cote Rotie La Landonne is an amazing achievement for the vintage. An astonishing saturated purple color is followed by scents of licorice, roasted meats, coffee, toasty oak, plums, and blackberries. The wine is extremely smoky, earthy, and terroir-driven. This 1997 offers exceptional expansiveness on the palate, sweet tannin, low acidity, and a ripe, robust finish. One to three years of cellaring is warranted, but it is capable of lasting for two decades. April 2002 WA 98

3 bts.    per lot $1,300 - $1,500
