    Justerini & Brooks Tasting note
    René Rostaing, Côte Rôtie, La Landonne, 2016

    True to type this is bigger-framed and bolder than the Ampodium. Statuesque as eve, but with more refinement than usual. Broad, voluptuous bramble and loganberry flavours, aromatic notes of violet and a twist of white pepper. A really suave and corpulent La Landonne with a large structure behind it. Fermented with whole bunches and aged in large demi-muid casks, a maximum of 10% of which are new.

    Josh Raynolds, Vinous
    Opaque ruby. Displays an array of intensely perfumed, mineral-accented black and blue fruit, floral, botanical herb and exotic spice aromas, along with suggestions of licorice, smoked meat and olive. Shows serious depth as well as unlikely energy, offering palate-staining kirsch, cassis, bitter chocolate, olive paste and violet pastille flavors that slowly turn sweet and become more energetic through the back half. Youthfully gripping tannins add grip to the smoky, mineral- and spice-driven finish, which emphatically repeats the licorice and blue fruit notes.
