Rene Rostaing
La Landonne Côte-Rôtie Syrah
Côte-Rôtie, Northern Rhône, Rhône, France
2019 vintage. Last tasted 3.8.25 (9.6) and 8.19.23 (9.5). Excellent fill and great cork. Decanted and tasted after 30 minutes. Small amount of chunky sed. Medium-heavy body but starting to slowly thin out. Excellent colo(u)r. Alongside the roasted nuts and smoked meats flavors, this drops a current cola-nut driven finish. Smooth and harmonious. Love this producer along with a nod to consumers/wine trade for keeping these ridiculous pricings down. 10.10.25.

Oct 10th, 20252019 vintage. Last tasted 08.19.23 (9.5). Still medium heavy-heavy bod. Plushy nose, aggressively undying flavors and brick + mortar structure. Comparable to what it must have been like to see Mozart live back in that day. Confusing. Pure. Beyond mortal comprehension. "It's getting better all the time." 03.08.25.

Mar 9th, 20252019 vintage. Decanted. Biggy and banging. Obvs too soon but still phenomenal. Toasted/roasted nuts and so much smoky/meaty action. Medium-heavy/heavy bod. Excellent focus and don't say no juice. 8.19.23.
