Guigal, Cote Rotie Landonne Vintage:2015

Guigal, Cote Rotie Landonne Vintage:2015Youthfull, 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.

92/try from 2010+

and sweet red berry fruit add to the wine's stunning allure

(from a mix of vines up to 50 years of age)

but the balance isn’t nearly as well dialed in compared to the best of these grands crus

They only produced some 60

Perrier Jouët Belle Epoque 2008 reminds me somewhat of the grace of the exceptional 1995

it would be unfortunate to leave so much upside potential unrealized and thus I would advise waiting for at least 5 more years first though it should easily be capable of rewarding 8 to 10

long and serious vintage of Clos des Lambrays is built for the medium plus term

medium bodied
