La Tâche--Vintage 1959
Côte de Nuits, Domaine de la Romanée-Conti
Levels: one 2.5cm and one 3cm; nicked labels, one slightly depressed cork, consecutive numbered bottles
"Relatively discreet and understated yet fantastically complex nose of fully mature and secondary fruit aromas liberally laced with caramel, earth and the classic La Tbche oriental spice notes that merge seamlessly into incredibly rich, dense and pure flavors of stunning depth and length and the only, extremely minor nit is a touch of alcoholic warmth on the finish. Otherwise, this is flawless and drinking perfectly with nothing but sheer silk and velvet in the mouth. A brilliant effort that is as good as it's ever going to be. I would be inclined to find a reason to drink up sooner than later." BH
