Comments from lfw:
Landal Noir (244) is the parent of Landot 4511, and thus the grandparent of Frontenac and Frontenac Gris. Landal blended with Landot makes a very good wine. Both seem to suffer from drought conditions, which seems to delay or hold back sugar development, or can kill the vines in the first season. The wine from Landal in 1999 showed nice spiciness, especially after time in a small US oak barrel. Has the capability of producing superior wine. It seems subject to disease in the vineyard, not as resistant as vines such as Sabrevois or Prairie Star. I see Landal as part of a big red blend, adding fruit, size and spice to the mix.
