The prodigious 2010 Cote Rotie La Landonne reveals a dense purple color along with a huge, impressive perfume of roasted meats, black currants, black raspberries and scorched earth. This 100% Syrah comes from vines planted on exceptionally steep slopes composed of schist and iron-like sub-soils. Some graphite also makes an appearance in this mineral-dominated, well-delineated, rich, intense wine.
The dense blue purple-colored 2010 Cote Rotie La Landonne (100% Syrah from the steep schist and iron-like soils of the Cote Brune) possesses abundant aromas of blackberries, charcoal, roasted meats and licorice as well as a hint of camphor. Masculine, virile and full-bodied with good acidity and copious tannin, it requires 3-4 years of cellaring and should keep for 15-20 years.
