Lot 274 Details
E. GUIGAL CÔTE-RÔTIE LA LANDONNE 1988

Rhône.
u. 2 x cm. peeling & stained label. raised cork. scraped capsule.

An opaque purple color and a closed but exciting nose of truffles, minerals, Asian spices, and fruitcake. When the wine hits the mouth with its enormous weight and extraction of flavor, one can't help but be seduced by such enormous richness and purity. Nevertheless, there is still a remarkably high level of tannin (sweet rather than astringent), a youthful, unevolved fruit character, and flavors that stain the palate. After tasting this wine, one feels like brushing one's teeth ... it is that rich. Anticipated maturity: 2002-2030. December 1996 WA 100

1 bt.    per lot $900 - $1,100

Realised: $1,056
Price Includes Buyer's Premium ?
