1991
E. Guigal La Turque  (Côte-Rôtie)
100
Life is too short not to experience wines like this, at least once. Incredibly flamboyant, this is pure, bottled decadence. The tannins are silky, the fruit is a blend of ripe, perfectly ripe and hint of overripe berries. There is a great sense of purity here. With power and sensuality, coupled with freshness and fruit for days, the wine is seamless from start to finish, which must last at least 60 seconds or longer more on your palate!

Many, if not most legendary wines fail to deliver as expected. When you factor in the costs associated with most legendary wines, it's even worse. The La La's of Guigal seem to break the mold as they deliver the goods. Still young, intense and fresh, the spicy, earthy, kirsch, black cherry, smoke, licorice and truffle infused nose sets off the experience. On the palate, the wine fills every taste receptor with perfectly ripe berries that expand in flavor and intensity.

Speechless... That is what happens to tasters with wines at this level. OK, spending a night with twins is even more erotic, but this is an amazing tasting experience. And it cost less than the twins too. Stunning levels of extract, exotic, hedonistic, decadent textures and a finish that is still going strong after 60 seconds only paints a part of the picture.

If a wine is going to score 100 Pts, it should make its qualities known with the first sniff, swirl and sip. It took that long or less to know this was sheer perfection in a glass. When the explosive perfume roared from the glass, pure black raspberry liqueur, truffle, black cherry, violets, smoke, vanilla, mint and licorice took over your senses. Sensuous, supple, opulent textures and a long seamless, sweet finish, was almost overflowing with pure, spicy, ripe black and red fruits. Those sensations remained in your mouth for over sixty seconds.

This blasts out of glass with bacon fat, fresh herbs, spices, garrigue and more. Intense waves of fruit cascade over your palate in a seamless fashion. The finish is well over a minute. This is very compelling wine.

Black cherry liqueur, earth, wood and floral tones make themselves known. Very complex. A finish with layers of liquid silk. Very concentrated and full-bodied.

Wow is the best way to begin to describe its aroma. Scents of crushed, ripe, jammy, black fruit and exotic spices exploded from the glass. Flowers and wood aromas completed the symphony of scents. Full bodied, immense concentration and complexity. Each sip and sniff offered something new to discover. The seamless mouth feel and finish lasted close to :60 seconds.
