The La Turque - E. Guigal is a masterpiece of balance, hailing from the famous Côte Brune. Known for its "exotic" personality, this blend of Syrah and a small touch of Viognier offers a dark, brooding, yet incredibly aromatic profile.
Tasting Notes
- Color: Deep, impenetrable ruby-purple.
- Nose: A complex array of oriental spices, toasted oak, black cherry liqueur, and blackberries, accented by hints of chocolate and espresso.
- Palate: Full-bodied and dense, yet remarkably precise. The tannins are firm but well-knit, providing a sturdy backbone to the opulent fruit.
- Finish: Extremely long and savory, with lingering notes of pepper and dark minerals.
Often described as the bridge between the finesse of "La Mouline" and the power of "La Landonne", La Turque - E. Guigal is perfect for drinking now or further cellaring.
