For the 2018 Cote Rotie la Landonne, Pierre Rostaing put together a blend from two barrels. Wow. Toast and mocha notes frame raspberries and blueberries in this medium to full-bodied offering. It's simultaneously rich, silky and concentrated. Packed with flavor and depth, it looks as if it will be approachable within a couple of years yet be capable of evolving for a couple of decades.
Jancis Robinson: Cask sample. Closed nose. Vivid black-cherry fruit with superb definition and clarity on the palate. Bitter herby, stemmy notes on the finish, which give an appetising crispness. Some raspberry and redcurrant fruit add to the complexity.
