Opened for 2.5 hours. Color is deep and opaque garnet/purple. On the nose: I am coming off a cold so not sure how good my effort will be, but I get : Pepper, iron, violets and cassis. Probably a lot more there than I can get at the moment. On the palate: Cassis, pepper, violets, iron, blackberries and a bit of cinnamon. This is superb even with a cold remnant. It is quite young, probably needs at least 5 years and I should have opened for maybe 6 hours. Since I was sick over 3 days and Christmas I wanted to drink something really good to celebrate being almost better and the holidays.

My fav of the '15 La La's tonight, the most balanced and perfumed despite the extreme youth of these wines. Beautiful pot-pouri, violets, lavender, dark berries, ample but more silky tannins compared to the other La La's, elegant and juicy but refined. Needs 10+ years. Cotsens blind night

Very great wine, to wait a minimum of 8 years. A little level under La Landonne 2015, and a big level under the best Guigal of all my tasting life, La Turque 2015

Inky with potential.

2015 Guigal single vineyard cote rotie release dinner (Golden Century, Sussex Street): Ripe blackberry, slight herbaceous/stalky note, plenty of spice, pretty, jubey notes. Pretty, juicy, black fruits, a little stone fruit, plenty of tannins but softly handled, the oak more evident on the palate though this is lovely.
