"The 1998 La Landonne from Domaine Rostaing is even more refined than the 1999, with its slightly more high-toned personality delivering even finer perfume and aromatic complexity. The stellar nose reveals an absolute classic mix of red and black raspberries, coffee, pepper, black olives, gamebird, woodsmoke, marvelous soil tones and a bit of nutskin in the upper register. On the palate the wine is deep, full-bodied, complex and very soil-driven, with outstanding focus and grip, moderate tannins and lovely balance on the long, pure and complex finish. Both the 1999 and 1998 La Landonne are textbook vintages chez Rostaing, but I have to give a very slight edge to the 1998 for its even more pristine aromatic constellation. (Drink between 2016-2045)"

The world's most influential fine-wine producer and the benchmark for Bordeaux, Burgundy, Champagne and the Rhone. Its appellation (AOC) system codifies geography, grape and method, and its wines set the global standard for age-worthiness and terroir expression.
Spans the Syrah-driven northern crus of Cote-Rotie and Hermitage and the Grenache-based blends of the warmer south, led by Chateauneuf-du-Pape. Its wines are known for power, spice and warmth.
The northern Rhone's most prestigious red appellation, producing perfumed, elegant Syrah, often co-fermented with a little Viognier, from steep terraced slopes.
Syrah (Shiraz) produces dark, powerful reds with black fruit, pepper and smoked-meat notes. It yields elegant, perfumed wines in the northern Rhone and bold, rich styles in Australia.
