The 2008 Cote Rotie La Turque offers smoky, meaty barbecue notes intermixed with notions of roasted herbs, forest floor and coffee beans. Although lower-keyed and less well-endowed, it is an outstanding 2008, one of the finest wines of this challenging vintage in Cote Rotie.
Shows nice flesh for the vintage, with a firm coating of cocoa powder to the crushed plum, black currant and loganberry fruit, followed by warm ganache and roasted bay leaf notes. Has the angles of the vintage, but more depth and breadth than most others.
