La Tâche--Vintage 1996
Côte de Nuits, Domaine de la Romanée-Conti
In original wooden case
"When I originally described the 1995 La Tâche, I wrote that it was the finest wine produced from that monopole vineyard since the 1990. Well, it may be surpassed by the dark ruby/purple-colored, blockbuster 1996 La Tâche. Its profound nose 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, and pure and possesses an exceptionally long finish loaded with abundant sweet tannins." Pierre-Antoine Rovani, Robert Parker, Wine Buyer's Guide, Fifth Edition
