  Method: tasted at the domaine (in the cellar)
  
  Nose: olive tapenade, bacon, game
  
  Palate: cherry, ripe blackberry, olive, bacon, candied violet; finish of herbs and violets; dry; medium body; medium+ round tannin; medium+ acidity
  
  Overall thoughts: Whoa! What an excellent nose on this! Currently showing a really nice intersection of ripe darker fruit and savory notes. Great structure. Already showing very well right now, but this should keep on improving with age for quite some time. Excellent wine!

  Très belle Côte rôtie, qu’on attendait pas à ce niveau du fait de sa relative jeunesse. Elle s’est montrée charmeuse, parfumée et séduisante, structurellement épanouie (comme si le millésime était assez tendre, caractère feminin?)
  Nez complexe, fin, sur la framboise, le cuir et le cassis, la violette et la pivoine dans enregistre pas trop solaire, assez frais pour une CR.
  En bouche, c’est l’harmonie : point trop de chaleur, des tanins, assouplis par le temps, et une fraîcheur délicate lui conféraient une furieuse buvabilité.
  Alors c’est probablement pas la Landonne de très grande garde, mais que c’est bon !
  94/95?

  Very very nice nose of animal, roasted meat, cepes de Bordeaux… Taste is perfectly balanced with ripe tannins, nice evolved fruit and starting on the tertiary animal flavours, great wine and ready to drink!

  Beautiful and rustic bouquet with ripe dark berries, metal and mineral impressions. On the palate blood and minerals, bell pepper, juicy acidity, beautiful tannin and some pleasant bitterness. There is some development, but the wine is still in its early youthful stage. 93 for now, but it could well be that in 2033 the score is 2 points higher.
