Etienne Guigal Cote Rotie La Landonne 1985 cabernet sauvignon Tignanello is a blend ofOnce again the darkest, thickest, most powerful, and formidably concentrated of Guigal's single vineyard Cote Roties, the 1985 La Landonne is also the least flattering and most intimidating. Like its two siblings, it is throwing a hefty sediment, with the inside of the bottle resembling that of a 15 year old vintage port. The color is still a murky, inky purple. The nose offers up aromas of beef blood, vitamins (iron?), minerals, smoke, and truffles.
