  A stunning bottle from an owc! So clean and primary still! Perfumed dark cigar smoke but finish was pure clean.

  The nose is hauntingly beautiful. Like a fine mature Musigny, you don't take a sip until you've spent a minute on the bouquet. Then the palate exceeds the nose. Good bottles of this are stunning.

  Just a tad behind the other La La's from 1985, the wine is still tremendous. Floral, with touches of smoke, tobacco leaf, oceanic influences and pepper, red fruits, the wine remains concentrated, intense, rich, long and deep. The vibrant finish is packed with spicy, slightly smoky red fruits that linger.

  Drinking with the other two LAs from 85.
  I like La Landonne the most b/c La Mouline for me is too soft and smooth, and La Turque (which should be right in the middle) is even more rough compare to La Landonne. Maybe b/c of the bottle difference. I think this time La Landonne is right in the middle and has a little bit of everything.
  ------
  This bottle is the most mature bottle among the three LAs. It has more mineral, earth, forest, smoke.
  It has the most tannin and acidity. Greatest structure among the three LAs. But still it's a little bit sweet.

  Rhone & Champagne x BBQ Meats: Perfect fill. Very smoky on the nose, blue fruit, resolved, more pronounced minerality, earthy spice, pear, roasted meat, gamey, some vanilla spice, sour cherry, amazingly fresh. Somehow this crazy acidity lends more tannin and structure here, even more than La Landonne. So smooth and composed, amazing layers, super spicy, juicy even, dancing all around, in crazy dimensions that never stop expanding. Damn this is good. 98-100
