Cote Rotie La Turque
Coming from a tiny parcel on the Côte Brune and based on 93% Syrah and 7% Viognier that was aged 42 months in new French oak, the 2021 Côte Rôtie La Turque sports a deeper ruby hue as well as beautiful aromatics of cassis, smoked game, liquid violets, graphite, and charcoal. It's medium to full-bodied, nicely concentrated, and balanced on the palate. It doesn't have the exotic, complex character of the La Mouline yet is slightly more concentrated, has beautiful texture, fabulous balance, and a great finish. I love it today, and it has another two decades of prime drinking ahead of it. Give bottles plenty of air if drinking any time soon. Drink 2026-2046.
