La Tâche--Vintage 1961
Côte de Nuits, Domaine de la Romanée-Conti
No 5867
Level: 5cm
"A simply stunning nose of sheer elegance and incredible breed with all of the spice, hoisin, soy, dried rose petal and sweet earth notes imaginable followed by rich, full, wonderfully complex flavors that dance across the palate, ending in superb length. The only nit is that it is starting to thin out now on the backend, revealing a touch of acidity. Otherwise, this is a brilliant example for the vintage and it towers over the Romanie-Conti, also recently tasted at the Domaine. While it is certainly holding well and will continue to do so, there is no advantage to holding this further. By far the best example I have ever had of this wine." BH 2003
