La Tâche--Vintage 1964
Côte de Nuits, Domaine de la Romanée-Conti
No 10266, 10268
Levels: one 3cm and one 3.5cm; one nicked label
"Remarkably, this was still tight and backward aromatically though with air, the hallmark La Tâche spiciness began to emerge along with simply a superb range of complex aromas that are still quite fresh; indeed, it was akin to an aromatic fireworks show that rivals the '59 and '62 for best in the tasting. Likewise, the flavors were somewhat narrow at first but when they finally got rolling, the richness and depth were incredible and while this remains a structured wine, there are no hard edges. The finish is full, sweet and incredibly long and this is holding well. A flat out terrific performance." BH 2003
