Cork. 13% alc. Double decanted and resealed with the cork 12 hours before serving. Rich, dark, black fruits mingle with chocolate, sweet dried herbs, graphite. It’s medium to full framed, well balanced, with a swathe of fine tannins. Still rather primary, but opened well in the glass.

Straight out of the bottle, a lot of dark fruit, good texture, quite civilized this Turque and would probally please many ... certainly more than me ... not so oaky as they can be so that was positive ... it drinks ok, but not much more, sorry but competition is tough and there are so many good wines around for less money, this is over priced like the Hermitage La Chapelle, and top Chapoutier, for me it seems like the best Cornas's & best Cote Rotie's have run by these wines .. by far .. or perhaps it's just me getting old ... older :) Drink 2024-2030

Enkelte notater indikerte at vinen skulle være i overkant ung; vår flaske var luftet ca 2,5 time og var vakker fra start, helt sensasjonell etter en drøy time i glasset. Nydelig floralitet, silkeaktig munnfølelse, mangefasettert rødfrukt som leker i munnen og lar hele rosebedet danse på en kraftfull men elegant kropp. Åpner seg ytterligere de siste 20-ish minuttene i glasset og blir virkelig stor.

Guigal Cote-Rotie La Turque 2011. Mørk og heftig - krevende å drikke. Etter en time i glasset åpner den seg mer og mer. Utvikler seg til en helt strålende Syrah. Fortsatt relativt røff struktur. Bør nok ligge i en 5-10 år til. Meget lang. 94p

Still 5-10 years to early. Took 1,5 hours in the glass to come around, but a great wine is sitting there ready to come out one day.
