Guigal's La Turque masterfully balances power and elegance. The 2012 vintage, which favored immense fruit charm and ripeness, produced a wonderfully voluptuous and explosive expression of this prestigious Côte-Rôtie terroir. It pours an opaque purple and bursts with extravagant aromatics of black cherry preserve, dark plum, chocolate, truffles, graphite, and roasted meat smoke. Full-bodied, sensuous, and richly textured, the palate is beautifully layered with an abundance of ultra-ripe, velvety tannins, leading to an epic, lingering finish. A true collector's gem.
