La Tâche Grand Cru--Vintage 1969
Domaine de la Romanée-Conti
Magnum number: 000145. Bin-soiled label. Level 2.8 cms. below base of cork
Tasting Note: Seemed to veer from puberty to adolescence in the mid-1970s and 1980s when I found it lacked the flair of the '62 and '66. But by the 1990s, it became fully evolved, fragrant, lovely texture and delicious flavour. Most recently: medium-deep, mature, open rim; initially a vegetal whiff but developed a lovely citrus-like fragrance; dry, lean, austere but with a delicious and distinctive flavour and unusually disposed tannin and acidity. Perfection. Last tasted July 2003 **** M.B.
