Also served blind at the end of the retrospective, the 1979 Cote Rotie la Landonne was fabulous. Concentrated, rich, textured and fully mature, I was shocked at its core of sweet, voluptuous fruit and texture. Certainly ready to go, the tannin is completely resolved, it has no hard edges and is an utter joy to drink today. There's no need to hold off, but it will hold for at least another decade.

So sweet and evolved, yet with freshness, that when served this blind I thought it was a burgundy – not what I would have expected from Landonne! Some gamey notes and transparency though definitely very mature. (JR)
