Product Description
RP100 "The 2005 Cote Rotie la Turque is utterly profound, and a desert island wine if there ever was one. Crème de cassis, blackcurrants, chocolate, barbecued meats and bacon fat all literally soar from the glass of this full-bodied, structured, perfectly balanced Cote Rotie that doesn’t have a hair out of place. It’s just now at the early stages of drinkability and will benefit from 2-4 more years in the cellar, and keep for 2-3 decades after that." JD for WA Dec 2016
JD100 "Pure magic, the 2005 Côte Rôtie La Turque is another wine that’s hitting its stride and drinking fabulously well. Deep ruby/plum-hued, with a monster bouquet of bacon fat, barbecued meats, chocolate, graphite, and spring flowers as well as a huge core of dark fruits, it’s full-bodied, flawlessly balanced, has silky tannins, and a finish that won’t quit. It’s a thrill a minute and a legendary wine to enjoy over the coming 20-30 years or more." JD Apr 2020
"Guigal’s single vineyard Cote Roties are other-worldly in nearly every vintage. I have given these offerings more perfect scores than any other wines in the world. They represent three completely different expressions of Cote Rotie, and are made in limited quantities. There are about 1,000 cases of La Landonne, and 500-600 cases each of La Mouline and La Turque. La Mouline, which includes the highest percentage of co-fermented Viognier (11%), is always the more delicate, voluptuous wine with the most complex aromatics." RP Apr 2009
