Peppery start, very focused. Was double decanted an hour before tasting. Soften somewhat as the dinner progressed, still very alive Just finished the wine left over from last night at lunch. Just as good, amazing 43 years old.

At age forty, the 1980 Côte-Rôtie La Landonne is showing beautifully, offering up complex aromas of plums, smoked meats, black truffle, loamy soil and warm spices. Medium to full-bodied, muscular and layered, it's deep and concentrated, with lively acids, mostly resolved tannins, and a long, penetrating finish.

Cured meat, olives, soil and dark fruit. Medium body palate. Drinking beautifully at peak. So classic.

La Tache and Chevalier Montrachet with Brad (Roger Nellans home): Lovely wine. Complex aromas of smoked meat, earth, spice. Medium body. Soft resolved tannins. Long finish.

A gorgeous bottle. Earthy, sexy, and a lovely Landonne.
