La Turque 2009 (75 CL)

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. Every bit as good as the 2010. the 2009 Cote Rotie la Turque is a flamboyant and sexy Cote Rotie that’s loaded with notions of smoked meats. blackberries. blackcurrants. beef blood and espresso roast. Thick. unctuous. hugely concentrated and long. it’s a heavenly wine I guarantee will put a smile on your face anytime over the coming 2-3 decades. (JD. 12/1016)
