Cote Rotie La Landonne  |

WA 100 (12/2013): Another 2009 that exhibits over the top extravagance and richness, and one I can find no fault in, the 2009 Cote Rotie La Landonne offers a colossal and full-bodied profile that carries incredible aromas and flavors of roasted meats, smoke, asphalt and assorted meatiness that’s all grounded by a massive core of fruit. A huge wine, it stays perfectly in check, with notable freshness, a deep, layered mid-palate and masses of fine tannin that carry through the finish. Hide this beauty in the cellar for another decade and enjoy.
JLL ****** (12/2011): Dark robe; there is a chocolate breadth on the nose, accompanied by some herbs of the south - it has a very deep blackberry jam fruiting, a real plunge of that aroma. There are also pine-bosky woods and licorice touches. The palate is direct, travels along tightly, has a free, fresh style after half way, is really good. It fines on down as it goes, is an interesting, complex wine - the most complex of the Big Three in 2009. The finish reflects menthol, is a clear-cut adieu. “We picked early in 2009 - early and fast to avoid heaviness,” Philippe Guigal.
WS 99 (10/2013): This delivers a stunningly ripe, pure, polished bolt of plum confiture, along with notes of anise, mocha, blueberry coulis, Black Forest cake and espresso. The finish sports admirable grip for this ripe-styled vintage, with a grounding rod of iron buried deeply. There's fruit and muscle now, with minerality to burn while this is cellared. Best from 2015 through 2040. 1,000 cases made.
VM 96 (3/2014): Glass-staining purple. Explosive aromas of dark berries, fresh violet and anise, with a hint of smokiness in the background. Sappy and incisive on the palate, offering deeply pitched, spice-tinged cassis and bitter cherry flavors accented by bitter herbs. Closes extremely long, with firm tannic grip and alluring sweetness, leaving a zesty mineral note behind. Showing a surprising degree of elegance for the vintage and for this bottling, which is usually the most forbidding of Guigal's big-gun Cote-Roties. |

Cote Rotie La Mouline ETA March 2018 |

WA 96+ (8/2014): A big step up, the 2007 Cote Rotie la Mouline boasts serious richness and depth, with a still tight, focused and youthful profile that’s begging for another couple of years in the cellar. Giving up plenty of smoked earth, toast, dried flowers, graphite, chocolate and hints of bacon fat, it’s a masculine version of this cuvee that should start to open up in another 3-4 years, and drink beautifully through 2032.
WS 96 (11/2011): Exhibits gorgeous aromas of warm tea cake, black tea and singed mesquite, followed by dense but silky structure that carries alluring plum, blackberry and licorice flavors through the very lengthy finish, where a sanguine edge echoes for added length. This has power, but it's more about guile and perfume. Best from 2012 through 2025. 417 cases made.
JLL ****[*] (5/2011): Pretty red, with a little top rim of lightness. The bouquet has a smoky, pebbly air, a snap of licorice, is sealed up, and not yet into a smooth red fruit display. The palate has a smoky, oaked debut with a fine red fruit gras lying rather buried within. Has an easy length, and proceeds well before tightening on the finish. The fruit resembles redcurrants, is very precise and fine. I find the oak shows more than in some years. A live wine this year, less of a full-blown sun wine than, say 2009.
VM 94 (3/2012): Deep ruby. A highly complex bouquet evokes dark berry preserves, potpourri and cola, with a smoky overtone. Juicy and precise, with penetrating black raspberry and bitter cherry flavors firmed by zesty minerality. Rich but light on its feet, with a bright, focused finish that features suave floral pastille and spice nuances. |

Cote Rotie La Turque |

VM 95 (2/2009): Saturated red. Deep, concentrated aromas of kirsch, cola and blackcurrant, with mounting smokiness and Indian spice qualities. Livelier on the palate, offering sweet raspberry and cherry-cola flavors, velvety texture and a strong lashing of cracked pepper. A sweet anise note carries through the sappy, very sweet finish. This wine is already quite seductive.
WS 94 (9/2008): Still tight, but with an ample core of hoisin sauce, licorice, black currant preserve and espresso. There's great length and lovely texture through the finish, which is filled with dark plum, cocoa and iron. Drink now through 2023. 350 cases made.
WA 93 (4/2009): The 2004 Cote Rotie La Turque exhibits hints of green pepper and bouquet garni intermixed with notions of graphite, blackberries, cherries, and smoky beef. A denser, more tannic, and structured effort than La Mouline, La Turque will benefit from another year or two of bottle age. It should keep for 10-15 years. Josh Raynolds.
WS 94 (9/2008): Still tight, but with an ample core of hoisin sauce, licorice, black currant preserve and espresso. There's great length and lovely texture through the finish, which is filled with dark plum, cocoa and iron. Drink now through 2023. 350 cases made.
JLL ****[*] (5/2011): Plum red robe with sign of a slight evolution. The nose is curvacaeous – gives airs of plum, crabapple fruit, is nicely rich and ripe, with pepper side notes and flinty airs that are clean-cut. The attack is mineral, cutting; its red fruit is concealed, but glimmers here and there. A structured wine that needs time. It ends on gras and confection - a slight sticky note. It is not truly together in its show and flow, is a Do Not Touch wine today that works within tight limits. The length is good. From 2015, and decant it.
WS 90 (12/2016): While certainly an outstanding wine, the 2004 Cote Rotie la Turque is a more streamlined, medium-bodied, elegant example of this cuvee. It offers a touch of herbacousness as well as lots of smoked meats, coffee bean and truffle, ripe tannin and solid overall balance. It’s mature, but will drink well for another decade. |

WA 98 (12/2016): Similar to the La Mouline with its forward, incredibly sexy style, the 2012 Côte Rôtie La Turque (there’s 7% Viognier in the blend) offers a saturated purple color 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.
WS 97 (11/2016): Features warm fig bread and ganache notes out front, followed by densely layered blackberry, plum and black currant reduction flavors. Ganache details echo through the finish, along with Turkish coffee and smoldering alder hints. A large-scale wine that should cruise in the cellar. Best from 2020 through 2040. 400 cases made.
JS 97 (10/2016): Made from syrah and 7% viognier, this has an intriguingly assertive yet elegant stance. it's compact, powerful and composed. Very complex, fragrant notes on the nose of orange zest, pepper, cloves and cardamom: It's all really spicy. On the palate, this is elegant and silky with plenty of fine tannin and a structure that's striking for its density. Dark-chocolate flavors are also a prominent feature. This expands vertically on the palate, even if oak ageing has mellowed this nicely all the way up to its creamy finish. A wine of clarity and purity: complex but refined. Drink 2020-2030+.
JLL ***** (12/2015): (From cask, last racked eight months ago). Full, dark red robe. Has a blackberry, plumply fruited bouquet, a pile of layered aromas that are nicely knit with cold tea, crushed fruits. It is more obvious than the nose of the Mouline 2012. This has an expressive opening, carries a juicy abundance, goes into fruit pastille ripeness in its late stages. It is more bountiful than the quiet 2011; I like its free wheeling approach. It is very long. From 2019. |

WA 95-97 (12/2016): A bigger, richer wine than the La Mouline, the 2013 Côte Rôtie La Turque offers full-bodied, layered and almost decadent notes of blackcurrants, chocolate, cassis and toasted spice. This beauty has building tannic grip, a layered, concentrated mid-palate and serious length—all pointing to a long, healthy life. Forget bottles for 4-5 years and enjoy over the following two decades.
JLL **** (12/2015): Dark red. There are caramel, sweet notes in a very young nose, gives some brandy cake, pulp of berry aromas. The palate holds smoky black cherry fruit with crisp tannins nudging it along. The presence of smoky bacon and melted chocolate in the flavour indicate it is in thrall to its oak raising. This can do quite well – the length is good. It has a steely inner, and more foundation than the 2014 Mouline. |

St. Joseph Vignes des Hospices ETA November 2017 |
$89.95 |

WA 96 (8/2014): Reminiscent of the 2010, yet more detailed and focused, the 2005 Saint Joseph Vignes des Hospice boasts fabulous creme de cassis, blackberry, licorice, burning ember and smoke to go with a full-bodied, serious, backward, concentrated and thrillingly structured profile. The purity, balance and overall class here is off-the-charts. In need of another 2-3 years to start to round into form, it will see its 25th birthday in fine form.
VM 93-95 (1/2008): Inky ruby. Remarkably floral bouquet of strawberry, blackberry and kirsch, with lovely rose and violet building in the glass. Stains the palate with sweet red and dark berry liqueur flavors, picking up exotic floral pastilles with air. Becomes more stony and vibrant on the long, zesty finish, which echoes the red fruit flavors. Josh Raynolds.
JLL **** (1/2008): Dark cherry robe; the nose currently reflects its oak that gives it a chocolate effect; there is a rich underlay to the aroma, with thorough, crunchy fruit that is wide and clearly ripe, and conveys a little black fruit liqueur. The palate black fruits are well engrained and there are complete tannins. It clamps down at the finish, but the richness remains. Structured wine, is primary now. From 2011-12.
WS 93 (10/2008): Shows a modern kiss of toast up front, but it quickly melds into the fleshy currant, fig and hoisin sauce notes, which are followed by cocoa and violet. The nicely rounded finish shows superb length and balance. Best from 2009 through 2014. 800 cases made. |
