Vintages 2008

Wine Advocate #198 - Dec 2011 Robert Parker

Score : (91-93)

The 2008 Cote Rotie La Landonne is a remarkable effort in this challenging vintage. Although harder edged than normal, it possesses loads of concentration along with abundant notes of roasted herbs, coffee, charcuterie, grilled meats, Asian soy sauce and black fruits. Medium-bodied and intense with moderate tannin, it should age well for 15 or more years. Drink: 2011 – 2026. Robert Parker.

Score : 18/20

Un nez typique de vendange entière, intensément floral, la grosse matière tannique a parfaitement supporté l’élevage, même si les arômes du bois doivent encore se fondre. Il faut de toute façon l’attendre, c’est encore un peu ferme.
