It takes just the first sip to grasp the greatness of this wine. Full-bodied, powerful, intense, balanced, and lively on the palate, you feel the weight while sensing the energy as its layers of fruit coat your palate and linger. The wine captivates your attention for over 60 seconds. This is clearly a wow vintage for Guigal La Turque. The wine blends 7% Viognier along with 93% Syrah. Drink from 2032-2055.”\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e97\/100\u003c\/strong\u003e — CellarTracker · 2018 Vintage\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e95\/100\u003c\/strong\u003e — Christer Byklum · 2018 Vintage\u003cbr\u003eTasted: Aug 2023\u003cbr\u003e“Ruby.
