The 2007 Cote Rotie La Turque’s inky/blue/purple color is followed by aromas of asphalt, charcoal, graphite, barbecue smoke, roasted meats/aged beef, blackberries, cassis and violets. With huge body, massive concentration, silky tannins, sweet glycerin and a layered, multidimensional mouthfeel, it can be drunk now or cellared for 25 years. Score: 97 Robert Parker, Wine Advocate, RobertParker.com Maturity: 2011-2036 01 December 2011 |

The 2007 Cote Rotie La Turque is more masculine, dense and full-bodied, offering up notes of charcoal, truffles, asphalt, blackberries and hints of roasted meats, new oak and earth. Powerful and rich with silky tannins as well as a muscular style, it tastes as if it came from a completely different appellation. Score: 97 - 99 Robert Parker, Wine Advocate, RobertParker.com 01 February 2011 |

Very distinctive, with ganache and espresso aromas and well-structured layers of blackberry, mulled plum, roasted spice, anise and charred apple wood. This has ample grip, but stays polished and integrated, allowing for an almost caressing mouthfeel despite its obvious density. One of the most concentrated wines in the vintage. Best from 2012 through 2025. 400 cases made. Score: 96 James Molesworth, Wine Spectator Maturity: 2012-2025 25 August 2011 |

Inky ruby. A sexy, intensely perfumed bouquet displays cherry compote, black raspberry, cola, potpourri and singed orange. Juicy, focused and spicy, offering red and dark berry flavors and a touch of smokiness. A bitter licorice note lingers on the strikingly long, sappy, yet refreshingly brisk finish. Score: 93 - 95 Stephen Tanzer, International Wine Cellar 01 January 2011 |

CS This was also due to be racked at the end of Oct 2009. Very solid but somehow manages to be sensual too. Super spicy with liquorice notes. Really pretty glorious. Very long, chewy and glossy with more lift than many other vintages. Admirable persistence. Score: 18 - 19 Jancis Robinson MW, JancisRobinson.com Maturity: 2015-2030 20 November 2009 |
