Cote Rotie La Landonne Guigal 1993
Cote Rotie La Landonne Guigal 1993 is a dry, full-bodied red from Syrah (Côte-Rôtie, France), in the full, structured reds style. Tannins are firm and acidity moderate; oak influence is noticeable.

Guigal Côte-Rôtie La Landonne 1993 is a full-bodied, single-vineyard red wine produced in the Côte-Rôtie appellation of the northern Rhône Valley. Founded in 1946, Domaine Guigal is one of the most revered and unwaveringly consistent estates in the Rhône Valley and is often seen as a benchmark for quality Côte-Rôtie. The top three wines from Guigal are known affectionately in some circles as the La La`s, which is short for La Landonne, La Mouline and La Turque. La Landonne made its debut in 1978 and is produced from 2 hectares of Syrah on the Côte Brune, vinified in stainless steel and aged in 100% new French oak for up to 42 months. "Medium bodied, with some dryness and herbal qualities to the spicy, peppery red fruits, this is a wine that wants to be good, but does not have the stuffing to get there. For a Guigal La La, this might look like a good price, but it`s not worth the money." Wine Cellar Insider, 2014
