The Story

In the Côte-Rôtie, the GUIGAL estate owns several jewels including the famous Côte-Rôtie « La Mouline » situated on the Côte Blonde vineyard which distinguishes itself by its shape which is characteristic of a Roman amphitheatre. In this ancient theater, exceptionally, the enjoyment flows from the tiers to the arena.

2017 La Turque – never the easiest one in its youth, everything is in place, no hard edges with lush layers of peppery dark fruit and raw meat with floral notes, complex and layered, yet just needing time to grow together, I would by experience wait another 7-8 years and preferably longer. 

Good looking normal size bottle. Colour is ruby red and deep. On the nose it is open, intense, youthful, refined, charming, complex and seductive. The taste is refined, focused, perfumed, toasty, firm, and dry, and average in acidity, full-bodied, with well-structured, complex, concentrated, balanced structure and youthful. On the palate it is layered and has meaty, smoky, spice, blackberry, blueberry, raspberry, toasty, pepper and perfumed flavours. The finish is long, vibrant, flavorful, pure and spicy. This wine is fine. Perfectly stored bottles are still very worthy and will last well for another 10-15 years and decant at least over 4h before tasting.
