2015 Côte Rôtie, La Turque, Guigal

TASTING NOTES

"...Lashings of ground spices—pepper, allspice, cardamom—are sprinkled over mixed berries, but this full-bodied wine is locked up tight, finishing with firm tannins..." (99 points) Joe Czerwinski, Robert Parker's Wine Advocate, December 2019

Saturated purple. Hugely perfumed aromas of dark berry preserves, incense, potpourri, smoky bacon and spicecake. Cola, olive and cracked pepper flourishes build with air. Youthfully and broad in the mouth, offering deeply concentrated, sharply defined black/blue fruit, spicecake, vanilla and violet pastille flavors that are brightened by a smoky mineral accent. Chewy and appealingly sweet on the extremely long, floral-dominated finish framed by youthful, slow-building tannins. Josh Raynolds, Vinous.com

"Meaty, pungent, very ripe and exciting. Spicy and hedonistic – for the very long term. Masses of muscle but masses of ripe fruit too. Very long indeed. " JancisRobinson.com
