Wine Advocate: 100 Points
The 1990 La Landonne is a perfect wine! Fortunately more than 800 cases were produced. It possesses an opaque black color and a huge truffle licorice cassis and peppery-scented nose. While it is one of the most concentrated wines I have ever poured across my palate it is perfectly balanced with adequate underlying acidity huge extraction of ripe fruit and tannin and a phenomenal 70-second or longer finish. This is the essence of Syrah! Give this monumental wine 7-10 years of cellaring; it will last for 40-45 + years. Published: Dec 31 1996
