justerini & brooks tasting note

A very expressive yet robust La Landonne that parades super ripe plum and black cherry fruit with hints of mulled spice, fruit liqueur and crisp acids.

90/100Joe Czerwinski,Robert Parker Wine Advocate

Stolen away from the family's tiny cache of back vintages, the 2001 Cote Rotie la Landonne is a clear marker that even top wines don't live forever. While still charming for its notes of crushed stone, florals and wood ash, the fruit has largely faded. Medium to full-bodied and nicely rounded on the mid-palate, it's thinning out on the tart finish. Drink up.

91+/100Stephen Tanzer,Vinous

Good deep red. Reticent nose offers roasted raspberry, brown spices, woodsmoke, pepper and tapenade. Powerful and rather closed; much less approachable today than the basic bottling, showing more oak and a strong acid spine. Pure and linear. Best today on the long, subtle, perfumed aftertaste. This needs at least five years in the cellar.
