E. Guigal Cote Rotie "La Landonne" 2018

Inky dense core with a purple hue. Youthful and pure nose, layered with fine oak, a hint of smoke and toastiness with floral violet notes, blackberry, plum, steak tartare, pepper and clove. Very pure, concentrated and layered palate, a high extraction but very grainy tannins and a vibrant acidity, ripe blackberry, plum and cassis notes with a nice peppery meatiness, layered and intense flavours with cocoa bean, fine spices and a very long dense and complex finish.
