1998 E. Guigal Cote Rotie La Turque

(98 Points  --  Wine Advocate)

The 1998 Cote Rotie La Turque may end up being a perfect wine. Its smoky black fruits intermixed with licorice, roasted meats, cassis, and flowers create an explosive, exotic perfume. The wine reveals considerable tannin, immense structure, and potentially legendary depth as well as intensity. (RP)  Review Date: 04/2002
