Guigal, Cote Rotie Landonne other_regions_italy A first sample of this

A first sample of this wine showed some porty high tones but this one is refined and pure

mocha and flowers

this should improve as it fills out

but retain their vibrancy

The prominent tannins are quite firm but not hard and this finishes with good punch and a mouth coating

Guigal, Cote Rotie Landonne other_regions_italy A first sample of thisYouthfull, deep, concentrated, fresh, broad shouldered, dark and packed with smoldering black and red fruits, the wine fills your palate. Powerful and refined is not something you see often, but it is here in spades. Juicy, dynamic, complex, long and holding on to its last vestiges of youth, before hitting full maturity, this is stunning in every sense of the word.
