Côte-Rôtie, La Turque--Vintage 1991
Rhône. Domaine-bottled: E. Guigal
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 of 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. It will be delicious when released, yet capable of lasting for 15 or more years. The Wine Advocate Issue 93. June 1994
