  • I didn't decant this and frankly I should have: the last glass was the best as the acidity mellowed and the smoky, gamey notes on the palate intensified. Very much a midweight LaLa but no less pleasurable

  • Decided to try this after reading some recent reviews.

    Big mistake.

    Was so not ready. Bottle has been stashed in my cellar upon release.

    After 1.5 hr decant was still really thin, opaque, and in a funky not happy place. Think/hope several more years will allow something reticent of La Landonne to appear.

    Put the wine back in the bottle and will try again in some days, should me thinks, be an improvement.

  • Superb Lalala, Bordeaux like, pure enjoyment - 96. Q-event at de Paal.

  • Opened at Caprice for the Four Hands Dinner. Slow-oxed for 1.5 hours before sharing over dinner.

    Slightly funky at first pour, but after a bit more breathing in the glass this thankfully blew off. Gorgeous Landonne, beautiful mix of black/blue fruits coming through on the nose with the peppery spice that you find from good Syrah. Tannins integrated and well-resolved, and drinking effortlessly despite having clear structure.

    Held up very well in a strong line up that included La Tache, Soldera and Roumier - and definitely the QPR winner of the night!

    Will keep at this level for many years, but I also wouldn't hesitate to drink up.

  • Very aromatic and showy with blackened spices, scorched earth, black fruits, and black pepper. The palate was sleek and tense with pretty dark fruits well integrated and tasty. Cool black slate minerality and dusty soil on the relatively long finish. In a nice place, but no rush here.
