La Turque 2009 - Guigal
Cote-rotie - Guigal
100/100 Parker
Cellaring : Drink now or cellar until 2046.
Tasted by JM in 2016 by Jeb Dunnuck : "The 2010 and 2009 continue to blow me away every time I taste them, and for me they represent the pinnacle of Cote Rotie - albeit in very different styles. Just as good as the 2010, the 2009 Cote Rotie la Turque is a flamboyantly sexy Cote Rotie that is loaded with notions of smoked meats, blackberries, cassis, beef blood and espresso roast. Thick, unctuous, extremely concentrated and long, this is a divine wine that I guarantee will put a smile on your face at any time over the next two or three decades."
