The ‘23 may not be the best Turley Juvenile ever, but it remains a solid value wine that’s very drinkable now (4/25 and the next ~5 years). Beautiful in the glass — pinkish purple with nearly neon edges — it lets off aromas of strawberry, kirsch, and cocoa in a heady, powerful nose. The fruit dissipates on the palate though, leaning into minerality, cola, sour cherry and a touch of pepper alongside a dusty finish. It’s an interesting and enjoyable, if not enthralling, blend.
