Côte-Rôtie, La Turque--Vintage 1990
Rhône. Domaine-bottled: E. Guigal
All bottles of excellent appearance with three slightly damaged capsules
In original wooden case
Tasting Note: The debut vintage for this wine was especially impressive in view of the fact that the vineyard was so young. The 1985 La Turque's colour remains a dark purple, with no signs of amber or lightening. The nose explodes from the glass, revealing scents of jammy black fruits, liquorice, lead pencil, and smoke. Sweet, thick, highly concentrated flavours contain enough acidity and soft wood tannin to give the wine a well-focused feel. This prodigiously endowed, rich wine should continue to evolve and offer accessible drinking for another 15+ years. Anticipated maturity: now-2012. Robert Parker, Rhône Book (1997)
