Appearance: Red-black robe with dark nuances. On the nose: Intense and powerful aromas of black fruits, licorice, Asian spices and roast. On the palate: The attack on the palate reveals power, concentration as well as massively structured but elegant tannins. The wine magnificently translates its terroir. Main qualities: La Landonne is usually massive and concentrated, with a deeply coloured robe and extremely intense and persistant aromas. It also reveals a great ageing potential
