Friday, September 28, 2018 - Charleston Offlineorama IV; 9/27/2018-10/1/2018 (Charleston, NC (various locations)): 6th/11 wines tasted. This is my third time with this wine in the past few months and the best outing to date. I still feel the '96 is a more subdued year for the La Turque, so while it hits all the typical Northern Rhone notes - it is just done in a quieter package. Dark red raspberry and black berry with a touch of meatiness and smoke. More pretty than masculine and powerful.
