Red fruits, cherry and blackberry dominate the nose of this wine, which is both elegant and intense. Offers smoky, meaty barbecue notes intermixed with forest floor and coffee beans.

Robert Parker's Wine Advocate - 98 Points
Similar to the La Mouline with its forward, incredibly sexy style, the 2012 Cote Rotie La Turque (there's 7% Viognier in the blend) offers a saturated purple colour to go with meaty, smoky notes of cassis, cured meats, chocolate and roasted herbs. It's a big mouthful of a wine, with full-bodied richness and a stacked mid-palate, but it has a seamless, weightless texture, perfectly ripe tannin and a blockbuster finish. I'd happily drink a glass today, but it should be at its finest from 2020-2046.
