The 1993 vintage was the most difficult year for Guigal since 1984, 1977, and 1975. Yet, some of Guigal's wines have turned out to be successful, although his numerical scores are the lowest I have bestowed him since the 1984 vintage (which indicates the remarkable consistency of this cellar). The three single vineyard Cote Roties have turned out to be very good, possibly excellent. I remember just how uninteresting the 1992s were prior to bottling. The 1993 Cote Rotie La Turque appears to be the best of these offerings, with a spicy, herbal, sweet, olive, Asian spice, and curranty nose. Medium-bodied, with ripe, up-front fruit, and dry, harsh tannin in the finish, it is a good wine, albeit a bit hard. All things considered, these are noteworthy efforts in a dreadful vintage.

This ripe red isn't giving much right now, with muscular tannins dominating the fruit flavors, but notes of chocolate, game and smoke emerge on the finish and promise more excitement in 1999. It's true to the appellation in character.
