Domaine Rostaing Cote-Rotie "La Landonne" red 2019

Robert Parker's Wine Advocate (Joe Czerwinski, Janvier 2022) : 98/100. After tasting Rostaing's 2019 Côte Brune, it would be difficult for any wine to measure up, but the 2019 Cote Rotie la Landonne comes darn close and is a more-than-acceptable second choice. Notes of violets and red raspberries lead the way on the nose, backed by the vineyard's signature roasted meat and black olives. Medium to full-bodied, incredibly concentrated and worthy of two decades of cellaring, yet not unapproachable even now, this is another suburb effort to emerge from Rostaing's magical vineyard holdings. Drink date 2025-2040.
