1991 Guigal Cote Rotie La Turque 750mL
Critic Scores
A stunning, modern-styled version, with scintillating raspberry pure, plum confiture and blackberry reduction flavors gliding over velvety but copious tannins. Alluring warm ganache and fruitcake accents gild the finish, which sails on and on. Best from 2020 through 2045. 67 cases imported. -James Molesworth, Wine Spectator
A bigger, richer wine than the La Mouline, the 2013 Cote Rotie La Turque offers full-bodied, layered and almost decadent notes of blackcurrants, chocolate, cassis and toasted spice. This beauty has building tannic grip, a layered, concentrated mid-palate and serious lengthall pointing to a long, healthy life. Forget bottles for 4-5 years and enjoy over the following two decades. -Jeb Dunnuck, Wine Advocate
(made with 50 percent whole clusters) Inky ruby. Bright, intensely perfumed aromas of red and blue fruits, Indian spices and potpourri are energized by a smoky mineral quality. Juicy, focused and pure, displaying deeply concentrated but lively boysenberry and cherry liqueur flavors, along with hints of candied flowers and five-spice powder. Echoes the floral and spicy notes on the strikingly long, penetrating finish, which features harmonious tannins and a hint of bitter chocolate. -Josh Raynolds, Vinous
