DOMAINE DE LA ROMANEE-CONTI
Domaine de la Romanée-Conti, La Tâche 1989
Grand Cru, Côte de Nuits
Levels 3cms
Tasting note: (opened from personal storage as well as many other experiences). For two decades this very much seemed stuck in a time capsule as it was evolving glacially but just in the last few years full maturity has finally arrived. The hallmark spice of a great La Tâche is present in spades with outstanding aromatic complexity that includes plenty of secondary fruit development but at this point, no sous-bois. There is excellent concentration to the velvety and wonderfully rich flavors that display the same wonderful depth of the nose, all wrapped in a mouth coating, delicious and hugely long finish. This is a wine that I have had any number of times but with inconsistent notes and the score below should be considered 'at best'. 94p Burghound November 2017
