La Tâche--Vintage 1996
Domaine de la Romanée-Conti
Not in original wooden case. Very bin-soiled and damaged labels. Bottle numbers 12377, 12380, 12419, 12420, 12460 and 20442
Tasting note: This blockbuster wine possesses a profound nose. It exhibits awesomely ripe red and black fruits, raw meat, and Asian spices, all of which are encased in sweet toasty oak. This full-bodied, wide, thick, focused, harmonious, and intense wine releases amazingly powerful layers of candied black cherries and blackberries. It is structured, totally precise, pure, and possesses an exceptionally long finish loaded with abundant sweet tannins. It will require patience. Anticipated maturity: 2005-2020. (94-97) points. Pierre Rovani, Wine Advocate #118, August 1998
