Note di degustazione
The 1991 Côte-Rôtie La Landonne has a stunning nose with superb definition, scents of black plum, sloes, iodine and Provençal herbs (sage and wild fennel). It blossoms with aeration. The palate is framed by saturated tannins, layers of sweet black cherries mingling with kirsch, vanilla pod and Indian spices. Though plush, it develops more and more elegance with aeration, even if it never quite matches La Mouline's complexity.

Very deep – the youngest looking, deepest and bluest of the three Guigal 1991s. Some oak still there. Still very, very dense and tough and oaky. The least evolved, but very good. (JR)
The 1991 La Landonne will provide multi-millionaires with plenty of pleasure over the next 20 years. They can also debate whether it or the perfect 1990 is the better wine. The 1991's bouquet offers huge, smoky, new saddle leather, licorice, Asian spice, and meaty, cassis scents. Black in color, with layers of richness, huge body, massive extraction, and a phenomenal finish, it is another legend from Marcel Guigal. It will be the least precocious of the 1991s, needing until the turn of the century to open and develop; it should keep for 25-30+ years. Readers should be getting in their reservations now for Guigal's 1991 single vineyard Cote Roties. In 1991, Cote Rotie enjoyed the most success of any appellation of France. The harvest was completed before the damaging rains arrived. Importer: Classic Wines, Boston, MA; Tel. (617) 731-6644
