E. GUIGAL CÔTE-RÔTIE LA TURQUE 2010

Rhône.
2 x scraped labels. 1 x scraped capsule.

Both the 2010 and the 2009 continue to blow me away every time I taste them, and to me, these represent the pinnacle of Cote Rotie—albeit in very different styles. The 2010 Cote Rotie la Turque is a much more masculine and edgy wine that's going to reward cellaring. Its inky black color is followed by classic notes of smoked meats, scorched earth, licorice and ample black fruits. Big, rich, tannic and structured, don’t think about touching bottles until at least 2020. December 2016 WA 100

2 bts.    per lot $1,300 - $1,500

Realised: $1,560
