Domaine de la Romanée-Conti, La Tâche--Vintage 1999
Grand Cru, Côte de Nuits
Very slightly marked label
Tasting note: The last of all the Grands Crus to be picked. Low yield. Two notes. At the opening tasting, a floral aromatic upsurge, spectacular, indescribable. Most recently: very deep, immature purple rim; rich, spicy, essence of Pinot, minty, arboreal, great depth; fairly sweet, very distinctive, full-flavoured, silky leathery tannins. To requote my 'iron fist in velvet glove' analogy - and surely one of the greatest-ever La Tâche. July 2003 (******) 2015 - 2030. M.B.
