Every bit as good as the 2010, the 2009 Cote Rotie la Turque is a flamboyant and sexy Cote Rotie that’s loaded with notions of smoked meats, blackberries, blackcurrants, beef blood and espresso roast. Thick, unctuous, hugely concentrated and long, it’s a heavenly wine I guarantee will put a smile on your face anytime over the coming 2-3 decades.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eJosh Reynolds, Vinous, December 2014 - 95P:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eDark purple.

Philippe Guigal summed up the most recent vintages in the northern Rhone as \"a kind of crazy show of extremes: '07 fruity and supple, '08 bright and lean, '09 ripe and exotic, '10 structured and masculine, '11 a more round and fruity version of '08, and '12 a more friendly and open '10.\" In other words, he said, \"we've seen almost every possible style that you can imagine in a really short time, without any of the vintages being truly bad.\" That's not to say that he doesn't have his preferences (that would be 2010, for the patient) and, from what I gleaned from our conversation, 2009, which he called \"a vintage for wine lovers while 2010 is for wine collectors.\"\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2 class=\"mb-2 mt-6 text-lg first:mt-3\"\u003eGeneral Information:\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eE.

Etienne Guigal, who began his career at the age of 14 in 1924, laid the foundation for what would become a multi-generational family business. In 1961, his son Marcel took over the management of the domain when Etienne was temporarily blinded.
