Details
Guigal, Côte-Rôtie La Turque 1991
Rhône
In original wooden cases of six bottles. Congé capsules. Some very slightly bin-soiled labels. Excellent appearance. Levels: 1cm or better
Tasting note: The 1991 La Turque behaves as if it wants to be the northern Rhone's answer to Richebourg and Musigny. However, with the exception of Domaine Leroy, you cannot find a Richebourg or Musigny with the richness and complexity possessed by this awesome wine. The saturated dark purple color is followed by a wine that is surprisingly lighter in the mouth than its great flavor intensity and rich extraction would suggest. It is a winemaking tour de force in that Guigal has been able to cram phenomenal levels of fruit, complexity, and richness into this velvety-textured wine without causing it to taste heavy. Robert Parker, Wine Advocate Rhone Book, January 1997
