Score 98/100 · Drink 2001-2025, Robert Parker, Jan 1997

This murky, purple/garnet-colored wine offers up an exotic nose of tea, smoked duck, licorice, truffles, and earth. Extraordinarily concentrated, and almost too rich to be called a beverage, this viscous, compellingly endowed, massive La Landonne remains 5-7 years away from full maturity. The wine possesses excruciatingly high tannin in the finish, but awesome levels of extract and glycerin. Anticipated maturity: 2001-2025. Last tasted 6/96.

Score 19.5/20 · Drink 1999-2024, Jancis Robinson MW, Apr 1994

Inky, not nearly as charming as La Mouline. A bit astringent at the end. Dry, dense, definitely Syrah. Gorgeous, textured, but very dry finish. (JR)
