The 1990 La Turque offers an overwhelming perfume of jammy black-cherries, cassis, toast, and minerals. With its sweet, generous, incredibly harmonious personality, it is an unforgettable wine. With sweet tannin, low acidity, and one of the most velvety-textured, decadently rich palates I have encountered, this fabulous wine has a finish that lasts more than a minute. The 1990 single vineyard Cote Roties, which were released this spring, are the Cote Roties of the vintage. 1990 was not an easy year in this appellation because of the severe drought and heat wave that stressed the vineyards. As I have said previously, 1991 and 1989 are consistently better years for most of the Cote Rotie producers. However, Guigal has turned in exceptional efforts with its three single vineyard wines.

The 1990 Côte-Rôtie La Turque has plenty of red fruit on the glossy nose, touches of aniseed and leather emerging with time, quite high-toned as La Turque often is. The palate is full-bodied with a veneer of glycerin, backward and muscular on the mid-palate with a ripe, sweet, cassis-driven finish. I would actually give this another four to five years in the cellar.
