CÔTE-RÔTIE - "La Landonne"
Vintage 2003
Lastly, the 2003 La La's are all prodigious efforts that may eclipse any other vintage Guigal has ever produced! They possess similarities to the 1999s, but they are even higher in alcohol, more unctuously textured, thicker, and longer. Encapsulate the character of each one of these single vineyards in a top year, add more depth, intensity, alcohol, and power, and this describes the freakishly rich 2003s. They will be released after spending 42 months in 100% new oak casks, so consumers will have to wait until 2008 to purchase these stupendous gems. These 2003s are literally off the charts, as are many of the northern Rhones in this vintage. As usual, there is about 11% Viognier in La Mouline, 7% in La Turque, and none in La Landonne. Interestingly, the La Landonne includes 100% stems, and the other two cuvees were completely destemmed. La Mouline is a thirty year wine, La Turque 30-35 years, and La Landonne should last 45-50 years. They are all the stuff of modem day legends. As for what they actually taste like, just take my notes for any of the great vintages and add more power, glycerin, alcohol, tannin, and concentration ... that about defines these 2003s! - (99-100) - The Wine Advocate by Robert M.

2003 E. Guigal Cote Rotie la Landonne Deep, saturated ruby. Knockout nose combines black fruits, gunflint, iron, licorice and brown spices. Like liquid velvet in the mouth, with wild flavors of blackberry, black cherry, roast coffee, licorice and gunflint. Extremely dense and concentrated, finishing with great aromatic persistence. - 97-100 - Stephen Tanzer's International Wine Cellar - 01-02/05
