We had left our wine glasses standing all evening, and after 4-5 hours, the nose of La Turque was the most present, the most prominent, having lost almost none of its power. Even the Homage 2012 from J Perrin had to bow down to the LT. The nose had beautiful alcohols, but especially peppers, spicy, very herbal as if full of spices. In the mouth, it had a beautiful acidity, was very long, but I missed the balance of frivolity that it had on the nose; the palate was somewhat monotonous in comparison. It might be that I was drinking it too early, but over the hours, I can't say that it improved!

Decanted 60 minutes. Fragrant nose, not overly intense but showing light brambles, violets and some hoisin. Palate is richer with real depth - oodles of hoisin notes, ripe brambles and blackberries, lots of sage. Good tannins with a fine grip and freshness giving delightful balance. Long persistence and a super rich mouthfeel. Subtle and very elegant. Drinking now-2032.

Still development ahead. Minerals, complexity, oak - but not too disturbing.
