100 Robert Parker
The most developed, evolved and forward of the three La-La?s in this vintage is the dense purple-colored 1999 Cote Rotie La Mouline. An extraordinary effort, it offers a smorgasbord of aromas and flavors. Scents of violets, raspberries, blackberries, roasted espresso, balsamic vinegar, and pepper tumble out of the glass. It is unctuously-textured, full-bodied, and fabulously concentrated with a tremendous purity and seamlessness that must be tasted to be believed. A wine of singular greatness, it can be drunk young, but should be at its finest between 2005-2020. <br/>

99 Wine Spectator
This offers a stunning depth of fruit, with a nearly endless beam of raspberry ganache and linzer torte woven with very alluring incense, truffle and mesquite notes. There's superb minerality buried deep on the long, flashy finish. Still has some surprising tannins to shed, though this is not as outwardly grippy as the Landonne. Contains 11 percent Viognier.--1999 C?te-R?tie non-blind retrospective. Drink now through 2030. 415 cases made. ?JM

Producer
Domaine Guigal
Three generations of the Guigal family have worked on this plot of land in the Côte-Rôtie that is over 24-centuries-old. As one of today’s most famous wine producers in France’s northern Rhône, the Guigal Estate was created in 1946 by Etienne Guigal in the village of Ampuis. His son Marcel took over the maison in 1961, expanding the family’s vineyard holdings. He also simultaneously bettered their overall reputation. Marcel was named Decanter Man of the Year in 2006, while his son, Philippe now acts as the operating oenologist for the domaine. The E. Guigal brand represents a rather broad collection of wines from the Rhône Valley, as the largest producer in Côte-Rôtie the firm also works as a négociant, buying grapes for some of their labels. Their three single-vineyard Côte-Rôtie productions, La Landonne, La Mouline and La Turque stand out worldwide as consistent red models from the appellation. E. Guigal also offers a large lists of other wines, the dense and concentrated Hermitage, the refined St. Joseph, as well as the famous Condrieus, just to name a few.
