This is finely woven

It lacks some of the purity and precision of today's wines yet is a satisfying

the 2010 Flaccianello wraps around the palate with serious depth and density

this year Sandrone showed me several experimental wines

2017 Côte-Rôtie, La Landonne, Domaine René Rostaing, Rhône Size:75cl This is finely wovenThis famous vineyard is currently shared by five vignerons. Rostaing uses only whole bunch on the fruit from their plot. Inky black in appearance, the nose reveals youthful bramble fruit with heady violets creeping through. The palate is textured and muscular, the dark blackberry fruit combined with a hint of pepper and iron. The finish is very long and the tannins fine, adding to the wines finesse. Drink 2022 2042.
