2005 Côte-Rôtie, La Landonne, Domaine René Rostaing

The 2005 Cote Rotie La Landonne offers the scorched earth, bacon fat, tapenade, and black fruits that come from this northern site in Cote Rotie. Tannic, superbly concentrated, and beginning to close down, this is a big mouthful of classic wine meant for long-term cellaring. Give it 4-5 years of bottle age and drink it over the following two decades.
