Expert Reviews
Saturated inky ruby color. Forceful, deeply concentrated nose features remarkably pure aromas of cherry liqueur, fresh blackcurrant, pipe tobacco, truffle, espresso, violet pastille, rose and exotic oak spices. A wine of incredible depth and sweetness, with almost painfully intense dark berry and plum flavors that expand and gain richness as the wine opens in the glass. Sappy and wonderfully long; shows a dense tannic structure but there's so much fruity and spicy intensity that the wine seems downright lush. Exotic Asian spices linger endlessly in the mouth, along with a sweet flavor of creme de mure
Good full ruby. Explosive aromas of blackberry, blueberry, black olive and leather. The densest of these 2001s by far but also surprisingly pliant, and already showing extraordinary inner-mouth perfume of black fruits, black pepper and black olive. Finishes with great spreading tannins and superb lift and length. The perfume lingered for minutes in my empty glass. Another extraordinary La Landonne in the making.

Too Much

At this young age, one can feel the power and concentration of the 2001 La Landonne. This one will be hard to tame. It will require 20+ years of cellaring before this bottle is remotely ready for enjoyable consumption. This powerful fruit bomb will knockdown red meat like a pro bowler mowning down pins in a bowling alley. Patience is a virture one must have before deciding to purchase one of this for drinking in the distant future.
