La Turque Côte-Rôtie Syrah
Côte-Rôtie, Northern Rhône, Rhône, France
Not the strongest year, but it rendered this toned and perfumey La Turque, packed with an intensely savory/spicey side that was bright, racy, and showing well with the cooperage. Intact and alive. On the red fruit spectrum, loads of cracked pepper, curing salt, dried herbs, moss, dust, wilted flowers.

This was the mystery wine and I had a premonition that the Sommelier was going to pick Astralis, the rich Australian Shiraz from McLaren Vale because he had just got some into the Club. “Don’t second guess the Somm”. On 2nd thoughts the La Turque would not be as rich as the Astralis. This wine was latent and ungiving - very solid - leather, bacon and pepper.

Quite tight initially, opens up nicely with time. Blackberries, black currant, espresso and a bit of green herbs

Decant and pour. On the nose: red plum, sandlewood, bacon fat, floral, touch of leather, dried herbs. Taste: smooth, juicy wine with tart cherry, woodsy, minerals, cocoa, black pepper. Enjoying a New years dinner out tonight. Cheers and happy new year!
