"Des notes fumées et tabac très distinguées, bouche aristocratique en diable, savoureuse, terroir lisible dans sa note "Brune", magnifique soyeux de tannin, étonnamment gourmande mais belle garde prévisible, interminable fraîcheur finale."
yr. 1999 Wine Enthusiast:

"Wine Enthusiast" has rated the wine "Delas Freres Cote-Rotie La Landonne" from the vintage 1999 on 01.01.2002 with 94 of 100 points.
"Only 6,000 bottles and 300 magnums have been made of this wine, from a parcel in the famed La Landonne vineyard. This is a beautifully crafted wine, with vanilla and polished violet perfumes. To taste, the ripeness of the tannins and the richness of the fruit give both complexity and elegance. It should age for at least 15 years."
yr. 2005 Jeff Leve, The Wine Cellar Insider:
93 of 100 Points.
"Jeff Leve, The Wine Cellar Insider" has rated the wine "Delas Freres Cote-Rotie La Landonne" from the vintage 2005 on 01.06.2013 with 93 of 100 points.
"Still young, tannic and demanding time, the perfume pops with kirsch liqueur, espresso, blackberries, earth, smoke and pepper. Full bodied, fresh, long and rich, when this comes around, I imagine it will be even better and deserving of a higher score. As my 1998's are still young, this is going to need some time."
yr. 1990 Jeff Leve, The Wine Cellar Insider:
92 of 100 Points.
"Jeff Leve, The Wine Cellar Insider" has rated the wine "Delas Freres Cote-Rotie La Landonne" from the vintage 1990 on 01.12.2011 with 92 of 100 points.
"A complex nose of licorice, bacon fat, spice, cherry, garrigue, smoke and ripe, black raspberry and barbeque filled the perfume. Medium/full bodied, soft and supple, this fully mature Hermitage wine finished with fresh, spicy dark berries."
yr. 2005 Wine Enthusiast:
92 of 100 Points.
"Wine Enthusiast" has rated the wine "Delas Freres Cote-Rotie La Landonne" from the vintage 2005 on 01.01.2007 with 92 of 100 points.
"Possessed of a powerful charred, espresso-like character on the nose, this isn't that fruit expressive at first, but on the palate black olive and black cherry flavors surge forward, framed by layered tannins and showing great persistence. Needs time; try from 2012."
yr. 2003 Jeff Leve, The Wine Cellar Insider:
91 of 100 Points.
"Jeff Leve, The Wine Cellar Insider" has rated the wine "Delas Freres Cote-Rotie La Landonne" from the vintage 2003 on 01.10.2015 with 91 of 100 points.
"I have to say, I was disappointed in this bottle tonight. The attractive perfume delivered blackberries, earth, coffee bean, dark cherry and mocha notes. On the palate, the wine was missing the fresh acidic pop I get from Cote Rotie . It was not nearly as good as it was a few years ago. This is a wine that needs to be consumed over the next year or two, before it declines further."
yr. 1998 Jeff Leve, The Wine Cellar Insider:
94 of 100 Points.
"Jeff Leve, The Wine Cellar Insider" has rated the wine "Delas Freres Cote-Rotie La Landonne" from the vintage 1998 on 01.10.2017 with 94 of 100 points.
"Flowers, smoke, ripe, red, fruits and wet earth, with sprinkles of thyme on the nose hit the spot. The wine has filled in, fleshed out and softened over the years, morphing into a really tasty treat, with character and freshness."
yr. 2015 Andreas Larsson - Tasted:
96 of 100 Points.
"Andreas Larsson - Tasted" has rated the wine "Delas Freres Cote-Rotie La Landonne" from the vintage 2015 on 01.11.2017 with 96 of 100 points.
"Inky dark purple core. Generous nose, high ripeness with layers of floral dark fruit like blackberry, cassis, meaty and spicy notes with a hint of new oak and smoke, finely layered and nuanced. The palate is very dense and concentrated, yet with fine extract and nuance, grainy tannin, some cocoa notes, fine oak and a very fresh dark fruit in abundance, and a chewy, fresh and very long finish packed with spicy dark fruit. A lot of stuffing but finely balanced with great purity. Marvelous now and marvelous in 30 years."
yr. 2010 Jeff Leve, The Wine Cellar Insider:
96 of 100 Points.
"Jeff Leve, The Wine Cellar Insider" has rated the wine "Delas Freres Cote-Rotie La Landonne" from the vintage 2010 on 01.03.2018 with 96 of 100 points.
"Powerful, long, concentrated and intense, the wine is full bodied, richly textured and packed with perfectly ripe, dark red fruits. There is a purity to the fruits that stands out, and is made even better by the appearance of spice box notes, truffles, wet earth, licorice and pepper. Lay this down for another 6-10 years and this will be a superb wine."
yr. 2009 Jeff Leve, The Wine Cellar Insider:
97 of 100 Points.
"Jeff Leve, The Wine Cellar Insider" has rated the wine "Delas Freres Cote-Rotie La Landonne" from the vintage 2009 on 01.10.2018 with 97 of 100 points.
"What a knockout. with its intense levels of concentrated, powerful, ripe, dark red fruits that come at you in layers, you also find smoke, thyme, wet earth, licorice, black pepper, espresso and hints of flowers. Long and complex, wait another 4-5 years and things will be even better."
yr. 2016 Jeff Leve, The Wine Cellar Insider:
97 of 100 Points.
"Jeff Leve, The Wine Cellar Insider" has rated the wine "Delas Freres Cote-Rotie La Landonne" from the vintage 2016 on 01.02.2019 with 97 of 100 points.
"Deep in color, the espresso, licorice, smoke and flint, paired with layers of juicy, ripe fresh, red fruits show up with ease. On the palate, the wine offers richness, density, purity of fruit, herbs, crushed stones and a wall of ripe, lushly textured, dark red berries. This will age quite nicely."
yr. 2015 Jeff Leve, The Wine Cellar Insider:
97 of 100 Points.
"Jeff Leve, The Wine Cellar Insider" has rated the wine "Delas Freres Cote-Rotie La Landonne" from the vintage 2015 on 01.02.2019 with 97 of 100 points.
"With the backbone to age, this is all about the intensity of flavor, purity of the fruit and the deep gravel that comes through on the nose and peppery, red berry palate. Give it 7-9 years and this will rock!"
yr. 2015 Wine Enthusiast:
97 of 100 Points.
"Wine Enthusiast" has rated the wine "Delas Freres Cote-Rotie La Landonne" from the vintage 2015 on 01.03.2019 with 97 of 100 points.
"Smoky tones of charcuterie and dried garrigue meld into ripe, luscious black plum and cassis here. A rich, densely concentrated Syrah, it's keenly balanced by crisp acidity and firm mineral tones. The finish is endless and unctuous, cushioned by sweet spice and silky, supple tannins. Gorgeous already it will only improve through 2027 and hold further. Anna Lee C. Iijima"
yr. 2016 Wine Enthusiast:
97 of 100 Points.
"Wine Enthusiast" has rated the wine "Delas Freres Cote-Rotie La Landonne" from the vintage 2016 on 01.09.2019 with 97 of 100 points.
"Sun-baked garrigue and smoky notes of iron and earth accent intensely ripe black cherry and cassis in this wine. Made from 100% Syrah, it's a hulking powerhouse of black-fruit flavors but finessed by firm acidity and fine, integrated tannins. Stunning already it should improve through 2036 and hold further. Anna Lee C. Iijima"
yr. 2013 Jeff Leve, The Wine Cellar Insider:

"Jeff Leve, The Wine Cellar Insider" has rated the wine "Delas Freres Cote-Rotie La Landonne" from the vintage 2013 on 01.11.2020 with 92 of 100 points.
"Medium-bodied, round, soft, open and fresh, the wine offers lifted, crisp red berries, plums, pepper, herbs, smoke, vanilla and floral essences on the nose and palate. The wine is already easy to drink."
yr. 1999 Jeff Leve, The Wine Cellar Insider:
94 of 100 Points.
"Jeff Leve, The Wine Cellar Insider" has rated the wine "Delas Freres Cote-Rotie La Landonne" from the vintage 1999 on 01.08.2022 with 94 of 100 points.
"This is gorgeous to drink today, with all of its earthy, vibrant, peppery, smoky, red fruits, wet heart, and crushed rock nuances. With good concentration, vibrancy, and sweetness to the cherries on the nose and palate, no decanting is needed, just pop, pour and enjoy. Drink from 2022-2032."
