I don;t have a lot of experience with Turley, sometimes I like it, sometimes, frankly most times, I'm not a fan. This time was one of those later ones.

The thing is that this wine was distinctly discombobulated, completely out of balanced and not integrated. Nose of sage, herbs, wood, very little in fruit, with the sensation of heat completely there all the time. This thing had a rather high alcohol level and it was not shy showing it. Not sure if that was a typical bottle or a heat damaged one as there was very little fruit and when there is little fruit, there is not much else to go back for in this case.
