Etienne Guigal Cote Rotie La Landonne 1985 cabernet sauvignon Bruno Giacosa created quite aOnce again the darkest, thickest, most powerful, and formidably concentrated of Guigal's single vineyard Cote Roties, the 1985 La Landonne is also the least flattering and most intimidating.

The nose offers up aromas of beef blood, vitamins (iron?), minerals, smoke, and truffles.
