Critic Notes
The opaque black/purple-colored 1998 Cote Rotie La Landonne (500 cases produced) offers vanillin, espresso bean, licorice, blackberry, and cassis scents and flavors with scorched earth and olive notes in the background. Extremely full-bodied, tannic, and monstrous on the palate, it possesses huge ripeness and extraction, as well as mouth-searing levels of tannin. This wine will need 8-10 years of bottle age. it should drink well for 3-4 decades. Robert Parker, Wine Advocate # 133.
Score: 95 / 100 Robert Parker
From a vintage that's starting to open up across all of the Northern Rhone appellations, the 1998 Cote Rotie la Landonne is upfront and ready to go, with terrific smoky dark fruits, Asian spices, dried pepper, olive and dried flower-like notes all soaring from the glass. Medium to full-bodied, seamless, elegant and layered, yet with terrific mid-palate depth, this beauty can be enjoyed anytime over the coming 15+ years. Sep 2015, www.robertparker.com

Solaia Vertical with Antonio Galloni, Piero Antinori and Renzo Cotarella
The evening started with Piero Antinori explaining how Solaia first came about, how it was effectively the result of a very lucky accident, much in the same way as Champagne. In 1978, the vines used to make Antinori’s Tignanello produced an unusually high yield of Cabernet Sauvignon. Rather than waste this, or blend it into the other wines, they decided ...
