REVIEWS:

Wine Advocate / 99
''The 1991 La Turque behaves as if it wants to be the northern Rhone's answer to Richebourg and Musigny. However, with the exception of Domaine Leroy, you cannot find a Richebourg or Musigny with the richness and complexity possessed by this awesome wine. The saturated dark purple color is followed by a wine that is surprisingly lighter in the mouth than its great flavor intensity and rich extraction would suggest. It is a winemaking tour de force in that Guigal has been able to cram phenomenal levels of fruit, complexity, and richness into this velvety-textured wine without causing it to taste heavy. Anticipated maturity: 1998-2015.'' - RP

Wine Spectator / 93
''Complex and concentrated, this shows toast and vanilla oak flavors balanced by plenty of plum, berry and licorice notes; dense and long. Drink from 1998.'' - TM

International Wine Cellar / 97
''Saturated ruby-red. Knockout nose combines dark berries, tar, iron, mocha, sweet butter and smoky oak. Velvety and extremely deep; the texture is truly three-dimensional. Great grip on the finish. Has the balance and structure to develop for many, many years. Perfectly ripe tannins are still covered by fruit.'' - ST
