E. Guigal
La Turque Côte-Rôtie Syrah
Côte-Rôtie, Northern Rhône, Rhône, France
The 2002 Guigal ‘La Turque’ is the finest Rhône wine that I have sampled from this challenging vintage. Flowering issues and problems obtaining phenolic ripeness plagued the N. Rhône in 2002 but the ‘La Turque’ was not lacking in richness. Black cherry, wild blackberry and huckleberry flavors connected with shades of iron and wet stone on the palate. Fresh and vibrant, this beautiful wine is drinking brilliantly now. Drink 2019-2029- 92

Excellent, 3 hours decanting and showing great complexity. On flavors is far superior than on the mouth, probably because of the vintage. Aromas of coffee, cherries, cigar box, layers and layers. Good structure and joined food very well.

Almost a WOTN candidate, and in a terrible vintage. Everything you expect from Cote-Rotie in terms of floral elegance and food-friendliness though perhaps a half step behind standard La-La greatness. Thanks @romo for giving your gift back to the SD crew!

Huge white pepper, great tannic structure, dark fruits. Unfortunately too drunk to remember anything else. There is a fog of "oh my God" but not sure why....
