2005 Guigal La Landonne

2005 Guigal Côte-Rotie La Landonne;

Deep ruby, almost opaque with pink rim. All kinds of things going on, dentist's office, anise, spices, pepper, sweet and dark fruits and some alcohol. Fresh acidity, layered and multi dimensional, much more easy to read than a Bordeaux, but also heavier with the sweetness and alcohol, beautiful fruit, very long finish. 92, another waste now, will get much better.
