Wine advocate #198 – dec 2011 robert parker score : (91-93) the 2008 cote rotie la landonne is a remarkable effort in this challenging vintage. Although harder edged than normal it possesses loads of concentration along with abundant notes of roasted herbs coffee charcuterie grilled meats asian soy sauce and black fruits. Medium-bodied and intense with moderate tannin it should age well for 15 or more years. Drink: 2011 – 2026. Robert par
