1989 Guigal Cote Rotie la Turque


GUIGAL LA TURQUE

Bottle of the Week

I had the pleasure of tasting this bottle for the second time, and once again a bottle not easy to forget. Rich, jammy, earthy, smoky, with sweet exotic spices and a hint of minerals. Well balanced, with a wonderful long, full finish. This is an unreal wine worthy of "Wine of the Night".


A Parker 99 Pointer, he says: Precocious, sweet, jammy 1989 La Turque's smoky, licorice, and black-raspberry aromas, as well as its phenomenal richness, make for another extraordinary tasting experience. Full-bodied, dense, and thick, this wine possesses the essence of black cherries. Still youthful, it is already gorgeous to drink. Anticipated maturity: now-2012.
