2015 Domaine Rostaing, Cote Rotie, La Landonne 1x750ml

Robert Parker 99

Am I being stingy in only awarding Rostaing’s 2015 Cote Rotie la Landonne 99+ points? This is a tremendous wine, showing immense richness and power without any apparent weight. Raspberries flood the palate in waves, accented by various spices in a wine that’s intensely tannic yet never hard or astringent. Breathtaking stuff. [Joe Czerwinski, 11/07/2017]

Vinous 94-96

Opaque ruby. Powerful black and blue fruit and candied licorice aromas are lifted and sharpened by peppery spice and smoky mineral notes. Coats the palate with concentrated, smoke-tinged blueberry, cherry liqueur and fruitcake flavors that become more energetic with air. Shows plush, seamless texture and finishes impressively long and sappy; chewy tannins build slowly and wrap around the intense dark fruit. [Josh Raynolds, 01/04/2017]
