Domaine Guigal Côte Rôtie 2010

Robert Parker : 98-100 points
"Scheduled to be bottled in February of 2014, the 2010 Cote Rotie La Landonne is a more fresh, pure and focused example of the 2009. While it doesn’t have the over the top exuberance of the prior vintage, it offers incredibly pure, detailed and classic aromas and flavors of black pepper, currants, blackberry, mineral and smoked bacon fat. Full-bodied, layered and deeply concentrated, yet also graceful and seamless, this knockout effort should require a decade to come around and have 3-4 decades of longevity." (2013)

Very particular winemaking: continuous pumping over during fermentation, like port and Algeria, because Landonne has a great phenolic potential and the phenolics are extractable. Crackling and lively but awfully firm and rigid. Inky and heavy charge of tannins. Cherche le fruit! A solid phenolic marvel this, but boy will you have to wait! Dry and dense - not made for super tasters. To admire rather than savour. Monument rather than a drink!
