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. The 2010 Cote Rotie la Turque is a much more masculine and edgy wine that's going to reward cellaring. Its inky black color is followed by classic notes of smoked meats, scorched earth, licorice and ample black fruits. Big, rich, tannic and structured, don’t think about touching bottles until at least 2020.

2010 年的 Cote Rotie La Turque 讓人聯(lián)想起 1998 年的酒款。此款高雅且完美至極的酒帶有極為濃郁的石墨、黑莓、黑色覆盆子和松露的氣味，酒體豐滿，酒力強勁，單寧豐富，需要 10 年的窖藏時間，至少可陳放 25 至 30 年。
