Very animal nose, cigar box, very elegant… Tannins very polished, fully integrated, very delicate taste, very nice balance, between animal, remaining fruit and mellowed tannins, great success in a difficult vintage!

Cloudy dark amber with ruby hues. Tobacco, bacon, meaty, dark fruit. This is very much in the masculine, Landonne style. Tannins well dissolved. Good freshness, this is the difference between Barossa and this, not overbearing. Full bodied palate, well structured. A wine like a cigar, not for the faint hearted. Late peak, drink up.

Northern Rhone Tasting (Restaurant Brunnenstube, Beinstein): Clean, medium garnet color. Clean, Cabernez Franc like nose, some green pepper, unripe notes, spices, speck. On the palate unbalanced, meagre and green. Certainly past peak. Drinkable, but even weaker than the La Turque. Bad PQR. 87-88

Tasted alongside a Turque of the same vintage. Lovely soft tannins, beautifully structured and very well made in a so called "lesser" vintage. Not as complexe as the Turque and more mellow Short to medium length. Time do drink up.
