La Turque Côte-Rôtie Syrah 1999

I was lucky enough to have the opportunity to taste the three La La's from the 1999 vintage side by side last night. La Turque was, by far, the most concentrated and frankly, massive of the three. Impressive aromas of dust, earth, iron, game, spice, damp clay, blood, meat and bone. Sculpted layers of flavor, depth and sheer power continue in the mouth with brooding black fruit, mouth-coating, yet balanced tannins, a compelling animal quality, savory notes, dollops of spice. This wine is an amazing, bordering on spiritual journey. — 12 years ago

Domaine de la Romanée-Conti (DRC)

Marey-Monge Romanée-St. Vivant Pinot Noir 2001

Sweet cherry fruits, soaring aromatics and so much power but so much finesse. Baking spices and very floral showing an elegant nature with hidden tannins lurking, still very young but what a future with great class and breed.
This was my WOTN.

Real depth and power in this wine. Less aromatic fireworks than the RSV but still very beautiful. Needs at least a couple if hours or air to get going. A real treat! — 12 years ago
