E. Guigal - La Turque - 1999 - Côte Rôtie Jean-Jacques Confuron offering a rich red withRobert Parker's Wine Advocate : The 1999 Cote Rotie La Turque reveals notes of toasty vanilla and espresso in addition to Asian spices, mocha, pepper, blackberries, creosote, and roasted meats. The exotic perfume is followed by a wine with phenomenal intensity, sweet, well integrated tannin, huge body, and loads of concentrated fruit. It is a tour de force in winemaking. Tasted 2003. Blend : 93% Syrah and 7% Viognier.
