Description

Cote Rotie 2020
La Turque, E. Guigal
2owc
Bottle (12)

From the single-owner collection of an esteemed industry insider, sourced directly from Europe's most prestigious estates. Every bottle was acquired upon release and stored in professional, temperature- and humidity-controlled conditions from day one. A rare opportunity to acquire wines with impeccable provenance.

"The nose is like what you smell when you enter a spice market in the Far East. Great concentration and underplayed power on the full-bodied palate, but also graceful, the generous dose of toasty oak almost perfectly integrated. Extremely long finish that keeps on pumping out the berry fruit, butter, orange and stone character. Drinkable now, but best from 2027." (98 pts. Stuart Pigott, James Suckling, April 2024)

"The 2020 Côte-Rôtie La Turque reveals an intense and intricate bouquet of black pepper, licorice, iodine, mocha, graphite and cedar notes, showcasing outstanding complexity. Full-bodied and deeply concentrated, it shines with refreshing acidity and an ultra-precise balance that maintains a serene sense of harmony. With a long, generous and impeccably refined finish, this is a serious La Turque that's elegant to the core." (98 pts. Nicolas Greinacher, Vinous, Nov. 2024)

"Deep colour. Very ripe on the nose with raisined notes. Gourmand fruit again, the tannins fine but greater length and precision on the finish." (17.5+ pts. James Lawther, Jancis Robinson, Dec. 2021)

"Notes of espresso and barrel char ride above notes of purple raspberries in the 2020 Cote Rotie La Turque. It's full-bodied, with ample concentration and length..." (94–96 pts. Joe Czerwinski, Wine Advocate, Feb. 2022)
