Heiner Lobenberg om:
Cote Rotie La Turque 2021

97–98
/100

Vinmarken ligger i den sydlige del af appellationen. Den står for fin, delikat Syrah. Vinen gæres og modnes 100 procent i nyt træ. Træet er Allier og Troncais fra Guigals eget tonnelleri, som kan producere tre til fire nye fade hver dag. Vinen forbliver på fadene i 42 måneder. La Turque er mere krydret og vild end den fine La Mouline. Crème de cassis, lavendel, bacon og fine eksotiske noter kombineret med lavendelaromaer, en absolut fascinerende smag. Meget polerede tanniner og et meget klart frugtspektrum i eftersmagen, der spænder fra kirsebær til ribs. Den har en utrolig krydrethed, China Five Spice, Quatre Épices, frisk kanelblomst og hvid peber. Mere senet og puristisk i sin tilgang end den charmerende La Mouline, selv om begge er meget ens. La Turque 2021 er finere og friskere end den middelhavsagtige og meget fyldige 2020.

Suckling om: Cote Rotie La Turque

In spite of the cool 2021 vintage, this complex Cote Rotie has excellent smoke, tar and pepper aromas plus some gingerbread and candied oranges. A very elegant expression of this site that has the concentration we expect, but more restrained power than in hot and dry vintages. Great length, the oak beautifully integrated in the very long, sophisticated finish. From the Cote Brune section of this appellation. Drink or hold.

Jeb Dunnuck om: 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.

Wine Spectator om: Cote Rotie La Turque

Creamy, rich, salty and expansive, with waves of warm mocha, winey steeped currant, sweet tapenade and zesty spice. Loamy earth tones, garigue and toasted brown bread chime in, with robe of campfire ash and mesquite throughout. Texturally compelling, with all elements integrated, though this will benefit from more time in bottle. Shows a nice freshness on the long, winding finish, too. Syrah and Viognier. Best from 2026 through 2040.

Parker om: Cote Rotie La Turque

The 2021 Côte-Rôtie La Turque is highly representative of its terroir despite the challenges of the vintage. Unfurling with aromas of dark fruits, spices, cinnamon, iris and blackberries, it is full-bodied, concentrated and firmly structured, with a deep core of fruit framed by powdery tannins, concluding with a mocha-inflected finish. While it may lack the sheer opulence of sunnier years, it retains impressive depth and authority, and its terroir expression should become even more articulate with time in the cellar.

Decanter om: Cote Rotie La Turque

This is very much on the perfumed, rose-like side of La Turque, along with characteristic star anise, nutmeg, and cinnamon spice, partly from the oak. It’s relatively light in body and concentration this year, but does have a good sense of freshness. More char and spice on the finish, along with vanilla pod. This year it’s actually quite light in tannins, and they are very fine. No hints of greenness, it’s fine and neat. It will be ready relatively early, and is not a vintage for long ageing. Low alcohol. At the beginning of its long maturation in 100% new oak barriques.

Galloni om: Cote Rotie La Turque

Cold espresso, cedar wood, blackberry and peppery scents of pronounced intensity introduce the dashing 2021 Côte-Rôtie La Turque. Medium-bodied and concentrated, the 2021 is such a splendid La Turque, showcasing cool-toned freshness with outstanding overall drive. One of the finest Côte-Rôties of the vintage.
