La Tâche--Vintage 1971
Côte de Nuits, Domaine de la Romanée-Conti
Level: 4cm; cracked original wax capsule remanants, Domaine branded cork with vintage and vineyard, bin soiled label, serial number 0065, Foreign Brands Inc. Importer strip label
"Curiously, this was not quite as fresh as the magnum of '71 Richebourg but otherwise, this was a mirror image of the best examples from 750ml: The nose was positively explosive and delivered everything one would reasonably expect and more from a great, fully mature Burgundy. Classic and very ripe old burg fruit intermingles with a wonderful array of spices, especially anise and soy all framed by a touch of caramel. The flavors are extremely rich, sweet and wonderfully concentrated with a deep, very sweet essence of pinot finish that still retains glimpses of its former power. The tannins are fully resolved and the finish is nothing but pure silk and velvet." BH, October 21, 2005
