E. GUIGAL CÔTE-RÔTIE LA LANDONNE 1990 (1)
Rhône.
u. 1 cm. wrinkled, soiled & scraped label. scraped capsule
The 1990 La Landonne is a perfect wine! Fortunately, more than 800 cases were produced. It possesses an opaque black color, and a huge, truffle, licorice, cassis, and peppery-scented nose. While it is one of the most concentrated wines I have ever poured across my palate, it is perfectly balanced, with adequate underlying acidity, huge extraction of ripe fruit and tannin, and a phenomenal 70-second or longer finish. This is the essence of Syrah! Give this monumental wine 7-10 years of cellaring; it will last for 40-45 + years. December 1996 Drink: 2004-2042 WA 100
E. GUIGAL CÔTE-RÔTIE LA MOULINE 1990 (1)
Rhône.
u. 1 cm. wrinkled, soiled & scraped label
The superconcentrated, opaque purple-colored 1990 La Mouline is closer in style to the otherworldly 1988 than I would have thought. Extremely rich, with a huge, bacon fat, toasty, cassis, and floral-scented nose, as well as phenomenally rich flavors, it is a wine known for its voluptuousness and extraordinary intensity. Anticipated maturity: 1997-2018. Last tasted 3/97. December 1996 WA 99
