Wonderful sumptuous and broad shouldered wine. Silky with great depth of red fruit, strawberries, jammy, deep blood orange. Just a wonderful super mature and incredibly compelling wine. A true joy for the senses. A privilege to drink.

Oh how I love La Turque! And....this bottle delivered. An orchestra in the mouth as typical of a great Guigal. From the moment the cork was pulled and the aromas wafted during the decant one could tell this was going to be special, and it was.
Decanted 4 or so hours, seemed to lose some of its fruit in the process but as usual the finish came way out. Bottle was in perfect condition and the Misses was very impressed w the profile, and that's saying heaps as she hated the 05 Harlan estate we drank earlier in the month!!!

This is somewhere between la mouline and la landonne in style. More prefumed floral than la ladonne. I scored it slightly lower as it seems lack of its own charm when compared to other 2.

Fida's Private lunch with Philippe Guigal and Ralph Garcin (Gramercy Tavern): Generally I think of La Turque as the gamey wine but today that was a bit more muted. Black fruit and power and depth. Drinking quite well but again still on the young side. Can hold these for awhile.
