2019 Domaine Rostaing, Cote Rotie, La Landonne 3x150cl

Robert Parker 98

After tasting Rostaing’s 2019 Cote Brune, it would be difficult for any wine to measure up, but the 2019 Cote Rotie la Landonne comes darn close and is a more-than-acceptable second choice. Notes of violets and red raspberries lead the way on the nose, backed by the vineyard’s signature roasted meat and black olives. Medium to full-bodied, incredibly concentrated and worthy of two decades of cellaring, yet not unapproachable even now, this is another suburb effort to emerge from Rostaing’s magical vineyard holdings.
