The 1999 La Landonne from René Rostaing is excellent and is now just entering its plateau of peak maturity and beginning to drink with great style and class. The superb nose jumps from the glass in a mélange of black raspberries, grilled meats, a great base of soil, a gentle touch of nutskin, autumnal overtones and black pepper. On the palate the wine is deep, full-bodied and beautifully transparent, with superb complexity, a pure core of fruit, moderate, melting tannins and excellent length and grip on the very well-balanced finish. Great juice.
