Good alvarinhos always take me by surprise. Green apple and pear up front, followed by a pleasing natural sweetness of ripe peach and nectarines. Smooth all the way through.

This one is absolutely lovely. — 17 days ago

Truth-in-place. Hitting perfect right now (13s!) with a very long sweet finish. Wow. — 19 days ago

Fantastic. A southeast brunello. Immediately dark cherry, touches of plums, spice, and the acidity and tannins integrated well. As it decanted, the tannins soften drastically with the acidity slightly overpowering, but nevertheless, the fruit stayed and lingered til the end. — 11 days ago

Still displaying the youth and vitality of a much younger wine, its black fruit appearance is dark and dense, the confirming perfumed aromatics and dark fruit flavors are still quite primary, and its structure is solid with ample fruit, light acidity, and supporting, chalky tannins at the long mouth coating finish. Definitely in its Golden Years. (Should be ideal with tonight’s Soy marinated Rack of Lsmb.)

Gorgeous black fruit. Smokey and minerality. Needs time to develop in the glass. — a month ago

A return to Cote Rotie to accompany our Asian influenced meal. Doesn’t get much better than Guigal La Landonne, which has never disappointed us. Rich, smooth, notes of blackberry and a hint of port. — 17 days ago
