La Tâche--Vintage 1947
Côte de Nuits, Domaine de la Romanée-Conti
Level: 4cm; bin soiled label
"Moderate bricking but not yet completely to the center. As one would expect, the nose is extremely ripe with hints of volatile acidity though not so much as to be off putting yet there is something less than completely pure here. The mouth coating flavors however are sweet, velvety and wonderfully rich with surprising vibrancy and length. This is delicious and is now moving into that essence of pinot phase that older burgundy sometimes does yet the wine's power suggests that it is not yet ready to go gracefully into that vinous good night and if well stored, I would expect bottles to continue to show well. That said, there is clearly no reason to wait as the wine is clearly tiring relative to what it used to be. Relatively consistent notes." BH, Oct 14, 2007
