Both the 2010 and the 2009 continue to blow me away every time I taste them, and to me, these represent the pinnacle of Cote Rotie—albeit in very different styles. 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. Robert Parker Wine Advocate

Tied for WOTN. Really amazing- flavors just went on and on and continued to unfold in the glass through the course of the evening.

Iron, earth, plush texture and fresh acid.

This is the first bottle that I have opened from this vintage. It was decanted for a couple of hours. Although it drank really well, it is just a baby. It should drink well for the next 30 years.

Good night for a great wine. Evolved into several unique manifestations over the course of the evening.
