Over the hill. Unbalanced. I know better than to age a Turley this long.

This bottle is over the hill and disjointed. It’s my fault for holding it too long.

This wine is under-whelming. It's a little too sour for me and tart. It's an 88 and not a point above.

A little thin then other vintages of this wine. It's a nice Bourgogne but I keep wanting more from the wine. Great cherry tart.

As always, this wine is bizarre. A little nail polish on the nose at first crack. It has a strange stem smell and taste. I don't know if I hate it or love it.

Fairly Oaky with a slight edge. It did better with air but needs quite a bit of time for the oak to settle in.

This did not have the traditional perfume nose from teh '04 vintage that I was hoping for but nice minerality and balance. Not too much bret. I'm a fan of this wine and Pegau in general.

This needs time and it's in a weird place. I think it will be a nice wine long term but a little clunky right now.

Elegant and everything I would want from a Tuscan wine. I really enjoy this producer. Fabulous nose

Tight and needs plenty of time. I'll try my next bottle in 10 years.

I corked the bottle and drank a glass two days later and it was much better. I did decant for 3 hours prior to drinking but this wine just needs a ton more time.

Soft for a Zin. I liked the feel of the wine and it was over-powering. Turley makes great stuff.

I felt the wine was a little reduced and clunky. I was disappointed overall in it but it's still young. I will give it another shot in 3 years or so.

I really enjoy this wine. It has an oily component to the weight but it's a lovely fresh drinking deck wine.

More modern compared to their Chianti Classico and Cepperello. Quite a bit of fruit and a hot finish. I'm a little disappointed in this bottle.

I loved this bottle of wine. It has great minerality that is almost burg-like. A slight cherry finish. Opened up after about 30 minutes in the glass. I highly recommend this wine.

This wine had a beautiful nose with nice depth and an old-world bordeuax finish. It still tastes quite young but was very pleasant.

This wine tastes cooked to me. Every bottle I open is just terrible.

This wine continues to impress me with it's elegance. Light on the palate with nice minerality and complexity for a bourgogne.

Great minerality and it really evovled with some air over about an hour. This wine will be great in a few years.

- Garnet color with medium forming legs - Decanted for three hours which helped the wine. When I first opened this bottle in 07 it was terribly acidic but this has evolved. Nice easy drinker with steak.

This wine was lovely and is in a great place. Evolved tannins, cigar box, elegance, with a little fruit. Quite a nice bordeaux funk on the nose. I really enjoyed this wine and may pop my next bottle in the next year or two.

This wine was pretty big which is expected for a 2008. Great minerality and acidity. Nice red fruit but needs a couple years to truly start showing itself. A fantastic village level burg.

Bottle is a decent QPR. A little light on the palate and not very complex but great for $9.

Nice balanced Demi-sec that sits on the less-sweet side of Demi's. Initially overpowered by the grapefruit crepe it was served with but showed nicely alone.
