La Tâche--Vintage 1996
Côte de Nuits, Domaine de la Romanée-Conti
In two six-bottle original wooden cases
"(It's quite possible that the '96 will be the longest lived of any La Tbche produced in many years' - Aubert de Villaine) Fantastically pure with the classic spice box, hoisin and soy nose followed by big, rich, very structured flavors that display notes of earth, leather and tea. The tannins are big, ripe and are completely buffered by the sap with length that is simply phenomenal. This remains completely primary in character and seems not to have budged at all since it was bottled. A genuinely great vintage for La Tâche that should improve for another decade and last for 50 years. Very classy juice." BH
